Canadian Tire helps raise awareness for upcoming legislation by encouraging drivers to keep their eyes on the road
Driver distraction is a leading factor in a significant number of crashes. A car can move up to 45 feet a second when travelling 50 kilometres an hour, making devices that divert a driver's eyes from the road extremely dangerous.
"The safety of our customers is of paramount importance to Canadian Tire," said
With a full line of Bluetooth-enabled products (a technology that allows for hands-free communication so that drivers can keep their hands on the steering wheel while driving), Canadian Tire has a variety of innovative, safe and legal hands-free communication devices that make the perfect gift.
Rear-view Mirrors
Fitting over a regular rear-view mirror, the Bluetooth mirror conveniently syncs up with cell phones. The speakerphone component cancels echo and reduces noise, while the call and name display appears clearly in the mirror without compromising visibility.
Headsets
Bluetooth headsets are a light and liberating option for wireless communication. These small, devices enable drivers to talk without restricting mobility required for driving.
Speakerphone
The Bluetooth speakerphone provides flawless sound quality without a headset. The speakerphone clips firmly to the visor and has clearly designed quick-to-use function buttons that limit the amount of time a driver's eyes are taken off the road.
For more information on hands-free products, including ear pieces, clip on visor speakers and products that install quickly over the rear-view mirror - a central spot in the car - visit a local Canadian Tire store or canadiantire.ca.
