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 traffi c; if possible, place
calls when you are not
moving or before pulling
into traffi c. 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 dangerous situations
— with your phone at your
side, help is only three
numbers away. Dial 911
or other local emergency
number in the case of fi re,
traffi c accident, road hazard
or medical emergency.
Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone!
