Massachusetts drivers have many options if hands-free cellphone bill becomes law

If the Massachusetts House gets its way, Bay State drivers can hang onto their steering wheels or their cellphones - but not both, according to the Boston Globe.

Last month, the lower house passed legislation that would ban drivers from text messaging while on the road and require them to use hands-free technology while making voice calls.

Drivers have plenty of hands-free options. Millions of phones have jacks for a headset; wired headsets can be had for $10 or less. Millions of other phones feature Bluetooth, a short-range radio networking technology. Bluetooth phones work with wireless headsets that sell for $25 and up.
