			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all the recent laws and safety issues concerning phone use during driving, I have tried to do my best to obey the law and keep everyone and myself safe during my daily travels in my so-called &#8220;Office on Wheels&#8221;. I have  felt like I had this issue worked out with my fancy speaker phone and abilty to hear the person on the other line very clearly. I would even feel proud that I didn&#8217;t have the phone up to my ear as I have been seeing many drivers still doing!  Good for me!  Riiight!!!</p>
<p>I was following a client from the last house we were loooking at to their house in another town by way of a nice country drive. All back-road routes with many stop signs in between. I was behind their dark colored van and thought I had a chance to make a quick important call to another client since the country road was open with very little traffic on it.</p>
<p>Somewhere, I eventually found out, my clients made a right turn at a stop sign. I stopped, crossed the road and continued following a dark colored van to a nearby house.  We stopped and the passengers stayed in their van for a minute or two and I made another call while they were doing something. A man came out of the house and I started to think something was wrong and not adding up. I was still on the phone and the man who was a little preturbed asked  if I needed something and I said I was following so and so.   The people finally got out of  their van and to my surprise I realized I had followed a different van!</p>
<p>How did that happen? How could I have done that?  How was I distracted?   A little embarassing.  I guess I was in a deeper conversation than I should have been!</p>
<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been trying to keep my hands and <strong>mind </strong>on the wheel!</p>
<p>Goes to show you can have your hands free but your mind has to be free to think also!</p>
