Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free
device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
• Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and re-dial.
• When available, use a hands-free device.
• Position your phone within easy reach.
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or
before pulling into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.
• Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It's free from your wireless phone.
• Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when
necessary.
