or a speakerphone 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,

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
