Travelers realize it's unsafe to yak on the phone and drive - and increasingly, it's illegal to do so.

Business Traveler tips to promote safe driving and mobile talking practices:

  • Use hands free devices and speaker phone settings. A Bluetooth headset or earbud device is better than anything corded, as lines can get tangled and interfere with safe driving.

  • Use a car phone charger. If the phone is fully charged, you will fiddle with it less.

  • Don't text and drive! Don't send a text. Don't read a text. The Wall Street Journal says, "In...Oregon, pending bills would provide fines -- up to $720 in one of them -- for any driver caught texting or holding a cell phone to an ear. And in Arizona, a bill is pending that would make DWT (driving while texting) a ticketable offense."

  • Set speed dial options for items you know you will use before setting out. In particular, set up speed assignments for your hotel, business contacts, AAA or other roadside assistance, and airport phone numbers for your own flights or for anyone you may be picking up.
