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 is 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.
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.
