2 When available, use a hands-free device. If
possible, add an additional layer of convenience to
your wireless phone with one of the many Motorola
Original™ hands-free accessories available today.
3 Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Be able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let
your voice mail answer it for you.
4 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, ice, and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
5 If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient
time do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or going
through your address book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility—driving safely.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car
will be stationary. If you need to make a call while
moving, 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. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations which have the potential to
divert your attention away from the road.
