Plantronics launches interactive "PLT City" web-portal to educate drivers on hands-free tech

We all do it. Well, at least two-thirds of us most likely do it. I'm talking about using your mobile phone while behind the wheel of a 1+ ton death-machine. Driving while using a cellphone is a practice that's become all too common these days , and has led to increased accident (both minor and major) rates - especially on the vehicle-congested roads of California. So much so, that a relatively new California law will require that all drivers use hands-free cellphone solutions when they get behind the wheel - with teenagers (the most dangerous driver-demographic and most prolific cellphone users) banned from using their mobile phones altogether - in a couple months. Come July 1, the Governator has seen to it that anyone seen with a cellphone held up to their ear while driving can be cited. So, with all those soccer moms piloting their grotesquely super-sized SUVs with a cellphone seemingly pasted to their faces, Plantronics has launched a new web-portal to help educate the masses on the benefits of hands-free solutions for their mobile phones. Dubbed, "PLT City," the web portal guides visitors through a "SIM City-esque" interface to educate the user on the new California law. The site features a real-time countdown to the July 1st law-enactment date, information and background on the new law, and suggestions for different hands-free headsets for different environments and needs. --- Related Articles at IntoMobile:
