What is the recommended action if you need to use a phone while driving?

The main idea is that using a phone while driving should not take your focus away from the road. The recommended action is to use a hands-free device or pull over to use it. Using a hands-free setup lets you keep both hands on the wheel and your eyes on traffic, reducing distraction, while pulling over ensures you can handle the phone safely if a pause is needed. Texting or holding the phone to your ear while driving keeps your attention off the road and increases crash risk, so those options aren’t appropriate.
