Ready, Headset, Go!

Congratulations people... you, who get extremely annoyed on the roads by cars almost crashing into you because the driver is talking on his/her cell phone. Affective of May 1st, everyone has to abide by a new law that forbids people who drive their cars to talk on their phones without using a hands free system or a headset. It's a great move by the Minister of Interior. If Kuwaitis decide not to break the law, this would lower the accident rates, hopefully.

I remember since last year when I bought my car, I used my hands free bluetooth system to talk on the phone. It was very convenient for me, and at least I got both my hands on the steering wheel. But whenever I stopped at a red light people would stare at me like I was a crazy person talking to myself. Those people were either very old men or ones who had nothing to do with technology. I got a bit cautious of the way I look, so when I felt that someone was staring at me while I was on hands free mode, I'd switch it off. 
Now, I guess with the new law, I'd have no problem looking like I'm talking to myself while driving. I'm not going to be the only kook on the roads of K-Town!

DRIVE SAFE!
