Media Alert - Motorola Canada offers hands-free solutions to Ontarians to
help comply with hands-free law effective February 1, 2010
What: On February 1, 2010, Bill 118 - the Countering Distracted Driving
Act, will be enforced in Ontario, prohibiting the use of hand-held
wireless communication or electronic entertainment devices while
driving. Drivers who would have previously received a warning from
police are now subject to a fine if they are caught using a
hand-held device. Ontarians who wish to continue making phone
calls while in the car will need to ensure they are using a hands-
free device, such as a Bluetooth(R) headset or in-car
speakerphone.
Who: Motorola Canada representatives are available to speak about the
range of hands-free options available to consumers, demonstrate
each product and the benefits of each solution. Additionally,
Motorola products are available for media to test-drive.
