Pull over to the side of the road to dial manually, know the features and functions of your phone before you drive and allow voice mail to pick up your calls if you are driving - these are all simple and commonsensical steps we can all take to minimize distraction from in-car cell phone use.” IfsKnowsHelpingUseSidesVoiceSimpleCommonStepsCarPicksFunctionPhonesDrivingCommon SenseCellsFeaturesDriversDistractionMailItemsCell PhoneEmbeddedAccessories Author:Gary Shapiro
