Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible
Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of
the unique combination of convenience, safety and value
delivered by the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the wireless
phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate by
voice—almost anywhere, anytime—with the boss, with a client,
with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with the
police. Each year, Americans make billions of calls from their
wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.But an
important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that
every wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car,
driving is your first responsibility. A wireless phone can be an
invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all
times while driving a motor vehicle—whether on the phone or
not.The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers.
Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It requires a
heavy dose of basic common sense—keep your head up, keep
your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and
watch out for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs
and signals and staying within the speed limit. It means using
seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same. But
with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more.
This brochure is a call to wireless phone users everywhere to
make safety their first priority when behind the wheel of a car.
Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch,
simplifying our lives, protecting us in emergencies and
providing opportunities to help others in need. When it comes
to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important
call.
