Before answering calls, consider your circumstances. Let the call go to voicemail when
driving conditions and local laws and regulations require. Remember, driving comes
first, not the call!
If you consider a call necessary and appropriate, follow these suggestions:
◦ Use a hands-free device if laws and regulations permit.
◦ Secure your mobile device within easy reach.
◦ Place and answer calls when you are not moving.
◦ Plan calls when your car will be stationary.
◦ Your top priority is to be safe! Don’t use your device and drive!
◦ Know and obey your state and local laws on wireless device usage.
◦ Get to know your wireless device and its features, such as voice activation, hands-free
options and speed dial.
◦ Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
◦ Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
◦ Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that might divert your attention
from the road.
