Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you
the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every
user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense
and remember the following
tips:
1. Get to know your 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 and
safety to your wireless
phone with one of the many
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 get an incoming call at
an inconvenient time, 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. Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a "to
do" list or flipping 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.
