The ringing of a phone or pinging of a text creates irresistible urges for many people to answer the call, read the message or respond.
To avoid these temptations:
❍ Turn off your cell phone, or put it on silent, before driving
❍ Toss your cell phone in the trunk or glove box to avoid temptation
❍ Pre-set your navigation system and music playlists before driving
❍ Schedule stops to check voicemails, emails and texts
❍ Set special ring tones for important incoming calls, and pull off to a safe place to take them
❍ Tell coworkers, family and friends not to call or text you when they know you’re driving
❍ Start all conference calls by asking if anyone is driving, and have them call back when they are in a safe location
❍ Install an app on your phone that disables it while your vehicle is in motion
❍ Ask a passenger to answer incoming calls and say “You’ll call back when not driving”
❍ Change your voicemail greeting to tell people that you may be driving and you’ll call them back when you can safely do so
Positive side effects of not using a phone while driving:
✓ More likely to arrive safely at your destination
✓ Feeling more relaxed; some of our best ideas and solutions come when we are at ease
✓ Not letting your phone control you
✓ Being able to have a conversation with your passengers
✓ Avoiding crashes and their associated costs – doctor visits, auto repairs, court fees
