CellPoint Partners with Rookie Driver.Net to Promote Safer Driving

‘Hands-Free Across Maryland’ Campaign to Raise Awareness of Safe Driving Practices and Increase Accessibility of Hands-free Headsets for Area Drivers During National Safety Month

Toronto, ON and Spring Lake, MI – June 9, 2008 – CellPoint Connect AB, developer of high-end Bluetooth headsets, today announced it has partnered with Rookie Driver.Net, a product development company dedicated to promoting driving safety among teenagers, to launch the Hands-Free Across Maryland campaign in an effort to increase awareness and implementation of safe driving practices among Maryland residents.

Hands-Free Across Maryland is the first campaign developed jointly by CellPoint and Rookie Driver.Net.  As part of the partnership’s initial campaign, CellPoint will offer drivers the chance to win a free Flamingo Bluetooth headset by entering a contest on the Rookie Driver.Net website, an initiative aimed at decreasing the use of handheld cell phones by drivers.  Additionally, all Rookie Driver.Net customers who purchase a Rookie Driver product will receive a voucher for a $20 discount off the original purchase price of CellPoint’s Flamingo Bluetooth headset.  The contest and promotion will run from June 9 – July 9 in recognition of National Safety Month and Distracted Driving Week, a program designed by the National Safety Council to address the most significant reasons for unintentional injuries.

“While many states have implemented hands-free device laws, it is imperative that drivers become educated about the dangers of using handheld devices while operating a motor vehicle” said Michael Mathiesen, Chairman of the Board, CellPoint.  “CellPoint recently launched a driving safety informational website and campaign in Norway together with a local traffic safety organization, which has had great success informing the public about safe driving practices.  In partnership with Rookie Driver, we hope to have the same success in helping the community understand the benefits of using a hands-free device and make these products readily available for Maryland drivers.”

Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death and injury in the United States.  Many states have implemented bans on using handheld cellular phones while driving in order to reduce the number of car accidents and subsequent injuries and fatalities.  However, studies continue to show that a large portion of accidents occur when the driver in at least one of the vehicles involved is using a handheld cell phone.  Through Hands-Free Across Maryland initiatives, CellPoint and Rookie Driver.Net will inform parents of teenage drivers about the safety issues involved with using handheld cellular phones while driving. 

“Research shows that parents are the most influential role models when it comes to their teens’ driving habits,” said Corinne Fortenbacher, President, Rookie Driver.Net.  “It is imperative that parents accept full responsibility by taking a ‘show by example’ approach concerning driving distractions.  Cell phone use by new teen drivers is not allowed in Maryland, but parents can teach their children the importance of using hands-free devices so when they are fully licensed, they understand the value of using a less distracting device.”

The Hands-Free Across Maryland campaign will conclude on July 9, at which time contest winners will be notified of their prize.  Interested parties can visit www.RookieDriver.Net for more information, to enter the Bluetooth headset contest, or to purchase safe driving products.
