A hands free device can reduce
the physical effort to make and receive calls; however, drivers should
also avoid making calls in heavy traffic or weather conditions and
should not engage in complex or emotional conversations.
Making it easier
Drivers can also use a phone
with voice activated dialing and automatic answering features to reduce
the effort to make and receive a call.
First and foremost
Always be sure to check the
forecast; if a winter storm is predicted for the area in which you will
be driving, think twice, or ask yourself if the trip is necessary.
Someone should know
Always notify family and
friends of your intended trip and estimated time of arrival.
Prepare yourself
Make sure you get enough sleep
and avoid alcohol the night before you set off.
