accessories are readily available
today. Whether you choose
an installed mounted device
for your wireless phone or a
speaker phone accessory, take
advantage of these devices if
available to you.
3. Make sure you place your
wireless phone within easy
reach and where you can reach
it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your
Voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you
are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first
responsibility is to pay attention
to the road.
5. Don’t take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving. If
you are reading an address book
or business card, or writing a
“to-do” list while driving a car,
you are not watching where
you are going. It is common
sense. Do not get caught in a
dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and
not paying attention to the road
or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the
traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan your calls before you begin
your trip or attempt to coincide
your calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red light,
or otherwise stationary. But if
you need to dial while driving,
follow this simple tip -- dial only
a few numbers, check the road
and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the
wheel of a car. Make people
you are talking with aware you
are driving and if necessary,
suspend conversations which
have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
