Legislation for laws requiring
hands 6.00 cell phone usage are going in effect all over the USA! Ironically, it
has been proven headsets often increase radiation exposure when not
shielded or used properly.
Select your state for local news and
information on laws regarding cell phones while driving!
More than 40
states are considering legislation that would permit drivers to talk on their

safety their most important call.

safer and save lives."

According to USA Today , NY
legislation will require drivers to not directly be holding a cell phone or they
will receive a 100 dollar ticket after Dec 1 of 2001. This raises a lot of legal
questions (ie what about truckers' radios, government intervention etc). But it
does appear that a few other states may follow suit as well on this. Because
there is a question of danger to others and not just oneself this seems to be a
bit different than the seat belt legislation but it's still very controversial.

If you
represent a cellular store or carrier, you have an obligation to provide safety
for your customers. Stop pushing UNSHIELDED Hands 6.00 Kits for radiation safety
and remove information from your web pages/advertising claiming rf safety
immediately! YOU'RE PUTTING PEOPLE AT GREATER RISK!!
Education In RF Safety Must Be Provided!! The World Health Organization saw
headsets as a threat a long time ago and despite this because of media like
20/20 who journalistically misleads 100’s of millions of people by not
researching what they’re reporting to be safer, is no reason to jeopardize the
safety of your customers! It’s time to evaluate your corporate missions
"People Before Profits"! Cell phones, like most
things that have risk, can be safer with education in cell phone safety & RF
Safe Approved Safety Technologies!
Use of cell phones while driving is an emerging
highway safety issue. States are being asked to look at the correlation between
use of cell phones while driving and crashes where driver distraction is a
causal factor.
Few states regulate the use of wireless phones, except in
specific situations. Because there are few studies and little crash data
available, states are beginning to take a more active role in improving data
collection. Through data, states will be better able to identify and guide
policy makers on this issue.
