automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed
dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free wireless phone 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.
