3. Position your wireless phone within easy
reach. Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where you can
grab 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. 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.
