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 hazardous
weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy

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
