  I'm still struggling to understand what this thing does!? Is it a bluetooth speaker?
  Wouldn't you just use the phone's speaker?
  Or I guess if you wanted a decent sized speaker for music, wouldn't you buy a proper bluetooth speaker?

  Clip it to your visor. Small hand free kit. Good for cars w/o Bluetooth, or if you are in a rental.

  Had a blueant for my blackberry for car and in study, as no coverage. Left phone on charger upstairs in coverage area, voice dialing from blueant in study. Now have one bar, and not paid to answer phone in car..

    I can see how it would be useful in your study scenario, but in a car why not just use the phone speaker? One touch to call contacts (via 'Ok Google' or Siri) another touch to activate the speaker.

      It's illegal to operate a phone while driving, but okay in most (all?) states to use the phone through a hands-free kit. Just last week I saw a motorcycle policeman work along a line of cars stopped at a traffic light, pausing and looking into each car. Stopped beside one car and waited. When the traffic lights went green, the driver apparently hadn't noticed they were being watched, and moved off while still talking. Lights and siren went on, car pulled over.

      Secondly, it isn't always easy to get your phone out of your pocket when sitting in a car seat. Most women have their phone in their handbag, don't want to go digging while driving.

      Thirdly, phone speakers aren't always loud enough in a car environment.

      And while phones can be voice controlled, a lot of people don't want to hand their privacy to Google or Apple, so they turn that feature off.

        @Russ:

        It's illegal to operate a phone while driving, but okay in most (all?) states to use the phone through a hands-free kit.

        This is not entirely true, in NSW at least.

        Here is the exact wording of the rules

        While driving or riding you CAN use your mobile phone:

        • To make or answer a call or use the audio playing function (e.g. music)
          ONLY if the phone is either:
          

          • In a cradle fixed to the vehicle and doesn't obscure your view of the road
          • Can be operated without touching any part of the phone, such as via Bluetooth or voice activation

        • As a driver's aid (e.g. navigation, Speed Adviser app)
          ONLY if the phone is in a cradle fixed to the vehicle and doesn't obscure your view of the road

        So, in order to use your phone it must either be on a cradle or able to be operated hands free.

        I, like many others use my phone for navigation. So it's always in the cradle charging and rarely in my pocket. The speakers on most modern phones are also pretty powerful, certainly adequate to hear someone talking. If you've got loud music or kids yelling then a hands free kit ain't going to make any difference.

        I get the privacy issue, that's a valid point. But according to the rules (in NSW at least) I CAN touch my mobile phone to make calls, select music and navigate provided it is in a cradle and not blocking my vision.

        So again, I can't see the point of this device. Each to their own I guess.

        @lostn:

        I really doubt it, and I suspect it's a common misconception that the car has to be moving.

        I think the police only waited for the car to move off, so the driver wouldn't argue, and to avoid being challenged in court.

        @lostn:

        In NSW yes.
        You are allowed to make calls, select music and navigate provided the phone is in a cradle OR hands free. This applies whether you are moving, stopped at lights or parked on the side of the road.

        I suspect the driver who was booked (above) was holding their device.

        @stuckster:

        So it's always in the cradle charging and rarely in my pocket.

        Your usage is quite different to mine, I always have my phone in a holster on my belt. I don't like the idea of cradles, I worry that I would forget and leave the phone in the car. As it's a business phone, I can't afford to lose calls that way.

        I actually installed a replacement car stereo with bluetooth, so the music automatically mutes when a call comes in, and I have a hard-wired "answer" button beside the steering wheel. Much more convenient than devices like the one in this deal. But for a couple of years I did have a stand-alone BT handsfree plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. It worked okay, but broke after about two years.

        @Russ:

        Cool. Yeah I always use it for nav. Not so much for directions but mainly because Google Maps will tell me the quickest way to go to avoid congestion or traffic incidents.

  you can't touch your phone whilst stationary at traffic lights

  • 

    CacheHunter on 08/02/2018 - 09:45

    No. See http://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/mobilepho…

    Must be parked out of the line of traffic

    • 

      stuckster on 08/02/2018 - 09:53

      That only applies to:

      • Texting or audio texting
      • Emailing
      • Using social media
      • Taking photos
      • Video messaging
        etc

      If I have interpreted the rules correctly:

      You are allowed to make calls, select music and navigate provided the phone is in a cradle and not blocking your vision. This applies whether you are moving, stopped at lights or parked on the side of the road.

        Rules are different in QLD. Some drivers can't even use handsfree or loudspeaker.
        "Learner and P1 provisional drivers under 25 must not use hands-free, wireless headsets or a mobile phone's loudspeaker function."

        @Russ:
        Yeah. They are pretty clear on not allowing you to hold a device, but surprisingly vague on use of a phone when in a cradle. Will have to remember next time I'm crossing the boarder.
