1.  Ask passengers to keep conversation to a minimum and help you
     navigate.
 2.  Deal with potential distractions before you hit the road, such as
     eating, putting on make-up, combing your hair, reading and checking
     messages.
 3.  Be well rested before getting behind the wheel.
 4.  Make sure you have clear directions and double-check the map before
     you leave.
 5.  Familiarize yourself with your dashboard controls before you go. Make
     sure your seat, headrest, seatbelt, rearview mirror, temperature
     controls, radio, etc., are adjusted to your liking.
 6.  Manage your music ahead of time. Pre-program your car radio, and
     adjust your channels, CDs or iPOD only when the car is stopped.
 7.  Pull over somewhere safe if you need to make an urgent call, check a
     message, deal with the kids, eat or drink, etc.
 8.  Change your cell phone voicemail message to let callers know that you
     may be driving and you will call them back later.
 9.  Tell everyone that for safety reasons, you no longer take calls while
     driving. If you call someone and find out that they are driving, let
     them go and call them later.
 10. Turn off your cell phone and PDA when you get into your car. Lock it
     in the trunk if it helps!
