Hands free law went into affect in minnesota a week ago and so far there have been 140 less accidents per day, according to MNDOT safety engineer Sue Karson.  The new law, which carries a 65 dollar fine for the 1st offense, and 275 for each additional and is also considered a moving violation, prohibits drivers in minnesota from holding a mobile device while driving and from pressing more than one button to perform a task.  while most drivers have opted to use after market bluetooth headsets, or factory installed voice command interfaces, other drivers have made, and creative entrepenurs have chose a different approach.

"GUBER" as it has been coined, the passenger sharing platform has launched in minneapolis and st paul, and will soon be available in markets across the state.  u may have guessed, but it is based on the extremely successful and often imitated "UBER" model, but instead of ride sharing, drivers are "sharing" extra passengers they may have in thier car to other single drivers to operate thier devices for them.  

"two seems to be the magic number," chuckles ceo and inventor of GUBER, Mark Faustino.  "A third, fourth or even fifth occupant in a vehicle is merely an untapped resource the drivers of cars are starting to harness."  

It is simple, the extra passenger is "shared" into a vehicle in the vicinity who has no occupants.  the shared passenger simply operates the driver's phone, sending texts, reading facebook, and playing candy crush.  

So far the reviews have been mixed, but self proclamied "GUBERS" like Ryan from shoreview says, "its kind of wierd sometimes when people have you text racial or, like, trump stuff, but it's really good money, and i always wanted to work in tech."

So for now, Minnesota, dont wait to arrive at your destination to call, text, or post a story on instagram, just find a GUBER, like Ryan.
