Is a Bluetooth headset allowed while driving?

I take a lot of meetings in my car and hate speakerphone. Is a Bluetooth headset allowed while driving?

Rob Shapiro · Updated on Feb 4, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Great question, especially since these days it feels like we’re working even when we’re not in the office!

The answer to this question varies from state to state. That said, many states, such as California, do allow a device to be placed in one ear while driving. This means you can’t wear a headset that covers both ears but it should be okay to wear an earpiece in one ear.

Even if you are using a hands-free device like a Bluetooth earpiece, you want to make sure you are never distracted while driving.

Is a Lexus IS 300 a good first car?

My daughter turns 18 this year, and I want to get her her own car before she leaves for college. I’m not interested in getting her a junker car that she’ll have to replace in a few years—I really want to give her a car that she can keep through college (and maybe longer). My husband and I both drive Lexus, so that’s what we’ve been looking at for her. Is the Lexus IS 300 a good first car?
