Using your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving is
illegal in some states. Even where it’s not, it
can divert your attention from driving.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
Get to know your phone and its features,
such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to 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.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.
