Richard Hills:

In Australia I never bother calling the director under Law 16 when I
am not damaged.  I believe it leads to a more pleasant game when I
defer my Law 16 director calls to *if* and when I believe that I have
been damaged.  (It also allows directors more time to apply Law 15
when another pair is attempting to wreck the movement by going to the
wrong table.)
