can grab it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming
call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voice mail 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. Do not 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's common sense. Don't 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.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect
yourself and your family in dangerous
situations-with your phone at your side,
help is only three numbers away. Dial 9-
1-1 or other local emergency number in
the case of fire, traffic accident, road
