Smart Practices While Driving
Drive Safe, Call Smart

Driving Safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
devices and their accessories in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may
be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Go to
www.motorola.com/callsmart for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and
data, almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless
service is available and safe conditions allow. When
driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you
choose to use your mobile device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its
features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a hands-free
device. If possible, add an additional
layer of convenience to your mobile
device with one of the many Motorola
Original hands-free accessories
available today.

• Position your mobile device within easy reach.
Be able to access your mobile device without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive
an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
• 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, ice, and even heavy traffic can
be hazardous.
• 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.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when your car is not moving or before
pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road
and your mirrors, then continue.
• 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.
