Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic.

For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
