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.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy
reach. Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where you can
grab 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.
