Before using your device to chat with friends, consider your circumstances. Let the
chat wait when driving conditions require. Remember, driving comes first, nothing
else!
If you consider a chat necessary and appropriate, follow these tips:
•
Use a hands-free device;
•
Secure your mobile device within easy reach;
•
Chat when you are not moving;
•
Plan chats when your car will be stationary;
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations;
•
Let the person with whom you are speaking know that you are driving and will suspend the
chat if necessary;
•
Do not take notes or look up information while driving;
