Phone down. Chin up.

5 tips to avoid distraction

Before you get behind the wheel, switch your phone to silent or flight mode and put it somewhere out of sight.

Let everyone know you’re driving ‘phone‐free’ and remove the pressure to be in contact.

Phone home before you leave work and check if you need to pick something up on the way home.

If you’re driving with passengers, designate a ‘texter’ so you can stay focused on the road.

If you really need to make a call, pull over and park safely before picking up your phone.
