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 that have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency

number in the case of fire, traffic accident
or medical emergencies. Remember, it is
a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call
9-1-1 or other local emergency number,
as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless assistance number
when necessary. 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 number.
