10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless device gives you the powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless devices, one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your
wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and its features, such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most devices offer, including automatic
redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the device keypad so you
can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free
wireless device accessories are readily available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted device for your wireless device or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless device within easy reach and where
you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
