Students Get Paid To Use A Bluetooth For The Car

Money_sign
Sometimes it pays to use a Bluetooth For The Car.  In the state of Iowa, adhering to state and local laws concerning hands free communication while driving can pay out

Corey Walker, an attorney plans to reward Newton High School students who sign a pledge not to drive distracted by mobile phones. He wanted a way to keep new inexperienced drivers from talking and texting while driving.  He and his wife, Beth, offer $25 iTunes gift cards as well as $100 college scholarships to students who sign the pledge.  In this pledge, they promise not to use talk or text while driving until graduation.

Oprah also offers a "No Phone Zone" Pledge on her website, although there is no monetary compensation or message to use a Bluetooth for the car. The pledge reads:

“I pledge to make my car a No Phone Zone. Beginning right now, I will do my part to help put an end to distracted driving by committing to drive as responsibly as I can.” 

At the time of this post, there are over 420,000 people who submitted pledges.  Click here to make your own pledge
