• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to
do" list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is
not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that can divert your attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number
in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.*
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call
911 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance
number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency
wireless number.*
