traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or going through your
address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
• 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 can divert
your attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 999 or other
local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or
medical emergencies (wherever wireless phone service is
available).
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If
you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 999 or other local
emergency number (wherever wireless phone service is
available), 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 (wherever
wireless phone service is available).
