10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice almost anywhere,
anytime. An important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless phones, one that every
user must uphold.
When operating 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:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its
features such as speed dial and redial. Carefully
read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most phones
offer, including automatic redial and memory.
Also, work to memorize the phone 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 phone
accessories are readily available today. Whether
you choose an installed mounted device for your
wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these devices if available
to you.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Make sure you place your wireless phone 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, suspend the call in heavy traffic
or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to
pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. If you arereading an address
book or business card, or writing a "to-do" list
while driving a car, you are not watching where
you are going. It is common sense. Don't get
caught in a dangerous situation because you are
reading or writing and not paying attention to
the road or nearby vehicles.
