Shakey rushed in and announced loudly, “I’ll tell you, some people are a hazard to
traffic!” Driving to work this morning, he looked over to his left and saw a woman in a BMW doing at least 65 mph, with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her mascara. He looked away for a couple seconds and then the next thing he knew, was she was careering all over his lane. It scared him so badly that he dropped his electric shaver in his coffee, and it spilled all over his mobile phone!

Tips:

1. Hands free is the way:  A
   good quality Bluetooth or wired hands free device is easy to use and could save a life, maybe even your own! Newer Bluetooth / phone combinations can even voice dial when properly set up. Most Bluetooth and wired handsets can answer your phone with a touch of a button.  A visor mounted hands free device is convenient and easy to use, not recommended if privacy in the vehicle is required.
2. Get to know your phone: Fumbling through a cell phone’s menus while on the road can be extremely dangerous. Practice speed-dialing, redialing and allowing calls to go to voice mail are good ways to make driving and cell phones safer.
3. Get an assist: Ask passengers to answer your phone for you, use their own mobile phones or to do the dialing on yours. Teach older children how to operate your cell phone. The speaker phone feature allows you to participate while driving.
