Frau page 42

Stay in veur lane.

Don’t get so wrapped up in a conversation that you drift
into the other lane. Pall into the right-hand lane while talking,
so vou only have to worry about traffic to the left.

gency number into the speed dial feature of your phane tor easy,

one-touch dialling. When available, use auto answer or voice-

activated dialling.
@ Never dial while driving.

the road, or better yet have a passenger dial for you.
M Take a messaye.

Let your voice mail pick up your calls in tricky driving situa-
tions. It’s easy to retrieve your messages later on.

§ Know when to stop talking.

ving. Ifa long discussion is required, if the topic is stressful or
emotional, or if driving becomes hazardous, end your call and
continue when you're not in traffic.

not using it. That way it won’t pop out and distract you when
you are driving. .

& Don’t take notes while driving.

If you need to take something down, use a tape recorder or
pull off the road. Ifyou have an electronic scratch pad on your
