How using your phone while you drive can cause you big trouble

Using your cell phone as you drive anywhere, not just in Alaska, is extremely unsafe and puts you, your passengers and everyone else out on the road in extreme danger. When you take your eyes off of the road for an extended period as well as use one or both hands to hold your phone you are asking for a disaster to occur.

Even if you do not get into an accident, you can very likely end up getting pulled over and end up getting a hefty ticket for using your phone while you are driving. According to the National Safety Council over one and a half million car accidents are caused each year by cell phone use while driving.
 

How a cell phone mount frees you up to drive carefully

You can momentarily look at your cell phone and keep both of your hands on the wheel in Alaska completely legally by using a cell phone mount. It will vary state by state but in Alaska you can legally mount your cell phone on your dashboard or windshield. This will free you up to drive safely as well as have limited use of your phone as you drive.

This will be helpful if you need to peek at directions as you are driving or want to view a quick push notification. It will also allow you to safely and quickly answer a call and talk hands-free on speaker phone. However, you should not try to text and drive with this as it will defeat the purpose of the mount because you will be taking your eyes off of the road for an extended period. You will frequently see rideshare drivers from apps like Uber making good use of cell phone mounts as an example.
 

Final word

It is extremely irresponsible and reprehensible to use your cell phone as you are driving without some sort of a device that allows you to do so hands free. Bluetooths are a good option but those will limit you to calls. A cell phone mount can allow you to make calls and glance at directions and notifications as you drive. Either keep your phone away or use a cell phone mount when you are driving your vehicle in Alaska.
