When using your phone in the car:

When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or
before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your

Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number
