Drivers who are distracted by talking on a cell phone or dialing
numbers while they are driving are causing more and more accidents.
Some municipalities have banned using cell phones while driving
because it has caused such a major problem. If you must talk
while you drive, the safest way is to have a hands-free cell
phone cradle installed in your car so you can speak while
driving with two hands. Even so, remember to stay aware of
what is going on around you on the road. It's easy to get
so engrossed in conversation that you miss exits or don't
notice what other drivers are doing. Better yet, wait until
you have arrived at your destination or pull over to the side
of the road to begin your cell phone conversations.
