5. Don’t 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 is common sense.
Do not 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
