Please use a Bluetooth headset with your mobile phone when driving

I was almost run over by a drive today on my way to work. This person happened to be talking on his mobile phone while turning into pedestrian traffic. The problem was, the he was holding the phone on the side that I was standing and the device was essentially blocking half his field of view including me. As a result, he drove right past me and if it was not for my quick reflexes I would not be writing this article now.

How hard is it for people to spend a few dollar for a Bluetooth headset to use with their mobile phone when driving? I know everyone has a car insurance policy that will pay off the victim’s family when they eventually run over and kill some random stranger but can they live with a death on their consciousness? Especially when all it takes is a few minutes at the mall and $20 to save a live? The stupidity of some people still amazes me.
