GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE
DRIVER SAFETY TIPS
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice - almost
anywhere, anytime.
But an important responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one that every user
must uphold.
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:
]
Use a hands free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
]
Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
]
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility, driving safety.

]
If possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when
you will not be driving.
]
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 have the potential
to divert your attention from the road.
]
Use your wireless phone to call for you. Or other
Dial 0-0-0 local emergency number in the case of
fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
]
Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies, if you see an auto accident crime in
progress or other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call 0-0-0 to call 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.
