9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to be a "Good Samaritan" in your community.
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 wireless nonemergency assistance number
when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you
still can use your wireless phone to lend a hand. 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 wireless number.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard to
everyone on the road.
Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association and the wireless
industry have conducted educational outreach to inform wireless phone users of their
responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens. As we approach a new century,
more and more of us will take advantage of the benefits of wireless telephones.
And, as we take to the roads, we all have a responsibility to drive safely.
" The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving."
