What is the safest way to deal with an urgent text message while driving?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Stop in a safe place and read or reply there
- Step 1: Handheld use is not allowed and any glance is a risk. Step 2. Parking removes the danger. Answer: Stop in a safe place and read or reply there. Why not the others: Read it at the next red light and reply before it changes: you may be tempted to keep reading when the light changes. Dictate it while holding the phone near your mouth: holding the phone is not allowed. Ask the front passenger to steer while you type: drivers must keep control of the vehicle.
