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
1.
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 possible, add an additional
2.
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. Be able to access your
3.
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.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
4.
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
5.
"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, place calls when you are
6.
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will
be stationary. If you need to 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
7.
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 help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
8.
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
9.
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.
