Sometimes, the best defense is common sense.
Turn off your phone or, at minimum, silence it. Some devices even have a "do not disturb" mode. Just keep it quiet so you aren't reaching out to answer it.
Put the phone out of reach, in your purse or even the back seat—and leave it be.
Tell your family and friends that you will no longer answer calls while on the road and mean it; perhaps you will convince them to make that choice, as well.
Add a “distracted driving app” to your phone, to prevent you from going there.
Take responsibility for your actions and just make the choice to not answer the phone--or start any conversations--while driving.
