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
