When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
Get to know your wireless phone and its

features, such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
When available, use a hands-free device. If
2.
possible, add an additional layer of convenience
and safety to your wireless phone with one of the
many hands free accessories available today.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
3.
Be able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your
voice mail answer it for you.

are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or
flipping through your address book takes
attention away from your primary responsibility,
driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,

pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car

while moving, dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
