Driving Safety Tips
"Safety is your most important call!"
Your Motorola wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice — almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless phone
service is available and safe conditions allow. But an important responsibility
accompanies that benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you find it necessary to
use your wireless phone while behind the wheel of a car, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips:
1.
Get to know your Motorola wireless phone 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.
2.
When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional
layer of convenience to your wireless phone with one of the many
Motorola Original hands-free accessories available today.
3.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless phone 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.
4.
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.
5.
If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time 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.
6.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will
be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7.
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 which have the potential to divert your attention
away from the road.
