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
105
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
