(NAPSI)—Americans spend a lot of time in their cars and even more over the holidays: One car insurance company survey found that almost half of American drivers say they plan on traveling two or more hours during the holiday season.
With all that time on the road, it’s important for drivers and passengers to stay connected. Because most long-distance holiday travel—about 91 percent, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics—is by personal vehicle, cell phones and smartphones are a travel necessity.
