Safety Guidelines
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. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an Contact 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 the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
