I don't work at a 911 center. I don't drive an ambulance. I'm not an EMT, firefighter or police officer. Nobody calls me on my cell phone when they're bleeding heavily, having a heart attack or just got shot. So, if I'm driving, I really don't have an urgent reason to answer my cell phone. Do you?
I don't need to use my cell phone when I’m driving. But it’s a tough habit to break. Besides the logic of not doing it, now we have another couple of reasons.
First, the National Safety Council (NSC) started its Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April. This is another attempt to get people to pay attention to the fact that using a cell phone for ANY purpose while you’re driving your car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle or anything else is positively dangerous for you and anyone around you.
Second, if you own a company and you haven’t yet paid attention to the rapidly growing legal ramifications of not having a companywide program to prohibit cell phone use when driving on company business, it’s time to listen.
So what does this have to do with insurance, bonding or losing sleep? It ought to be pretty obvious what your insurance carrier will think about a serious accident involving distracted driving while you or your employees are on company business.
您的纽带公司想知道您正在经营业务，因此您可以竭尽所能避免倒闭。有很多方法可以发生，并且债券公司不得不为所有人付费。现在有一个新的原因。
您应该开始了解有关NSC的全部分心驾驶意识计划的更多信息，包括如何制定公司的政策，执行该计划以及有关它在NSC的网站上具有出色业务意义的所有逻辑，http://www.nsc.org/safety_road/distracted_driving/。
对于那些认为自己很出色或足够运动以至于可以处理驾驶和牢房聊天的读者，NSC白皮书中描述的课程于2010年3月出版（这不是新闻！），其中包括以下内容：
The white paper includes references to more than 30 scientific studies and reports, describing how using a cell phone,免提或手持式(my emphasis), requires the brain to multitask – a process it cannot do safely while driving. Cell phone use while driving not only impairs driving performance, but it also weakens the brain’s ability to capture driving cues. The white paper is available for free download on the NSC Website.
如果您没有公司政策，并且执行，那么您的曝光率可能会花费您大笔费用。NSC关于如何设置程序的信息http://shop.nsc.org/eproducts-cell-phone-policy-download-p252.aspx。And it’s free!
最后要考虑的是Pledge。阅读并决定是否可以做。如果不能，请努力思考为什么不及电话的重要性。有人在流血时打电话给你吗？可能不是。我接了（从那以后就没有电话）。你会？
Finally, if you or someone in your company causes an injury accident while using a cell phone, I can guarantee you will lose sleep, and likely for many nights. Sleep’s valuable, like time and life.不要因为打个电话而丢失任何一个，直到您不开车为止。
