assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter
while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit
a call for emergency services. But you still can use your wireless phone
to lend a hand. 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.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent
a hazard to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association and the wireless industry have
conducted an educational outreach program to inform wireless phone
users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens. As we

benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a
responsibility to drive safely.
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.
