If you must make an urgent phone call while traveling, the safest approach is to:

• A.Call while driving with the phone on speaker at any speed
• B.Call only on straight stretches of road
• C.Pull off the road to a safe place and stop before calling
• D.Call while stopped in a travel lane

Why

Stopping safely off the road removes the distraction from driving entirely. A travel lane is never a safe place to stop for a phone call.
