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’s 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.
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 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is a free call on
your wireless phone!
