Ontario ban on use of hand-held devices while driving begins today

Nokia original accessories help keep hands free and eyes on the road

TORONTO , Oct. 26 /CNW/ - Ontario's ban on the use of hand-held communication and entertainment devices comes into effect today. The new law will make it illegal for drivers to text, type, dial or email using hand-held devices while operating a vehicle.

Many Ontarians have become accustomed to talking on their mobile devices on-the-road, but this is now a bad habit they will have to break. There are mobile devices options and wireless accessories that offer hands-free modes and speaker commands that would allow drivers to safely use their hand-held devices without distracting them from driving.

Nokia is the leader in Bluetooth headsets with the highest market share globally.
