Pull Over to Conduct Business by Phone

This article seems quite timely!

I don't know where we'd be without our cell phones… we need them to run our businesses. But earlier today as I was driving back from lunch I had a close encounter with a driver and his cell phone. Although there wasn't a collision, the near accident left me shaken and wondering whether I had cut anyone else off while I was on the phone.

In recent years I've been trying to pull over to the side of the road when my cell rings but I don't always. After today, it's likely that I will more often.

I usually try to be a nice guy and easy going when it comes to talking about your business, but I'm going to say this with as much force as I can muster:

PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN YOU TALK ON YOUR CELL PHONE.

Not only will it help you and the drivers around you stay safe, it's a lot easier for the person on the other end of the call to enjoy their conversation with you (because your attention is completely focused on them).
