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 traffic. As a driver, your first
responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
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 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 fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s a free call on your
wireless phone!
