When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most
important call.
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 voice mail 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.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are
reading an address book or business card, or writing a "to do" list
while driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It's
common sense. Don't get caught in a dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or
nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls
