exercised at all times while driving a motor
vehicle whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as
teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution
and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic
common sense-keep your head up, keep your
eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently
and watch out for other drivers. It requires
obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying
within the speed limit. It means using seat belts
and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely
means a little more. This brochure is a call to
wireless phone users everywhere to make
safety their first priority when behind the wheel
of a car. Wireless telecommunications is
keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives,
protecting us in emergencies and providing
opportunities to help others in need. When it
comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is
your most important call.
Wireless phone "safety tips"
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and
using a wireless phone which should be easy to
remember:
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.
