10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by voice
almost anywhere, anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold. When operating 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. G et 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. W hen available, use a handsfree
device. A number of handsfree 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. P osition your wireless phone within
easy reach. Make sure you place your
wireless phone within easy reach and
where you can reach it without removing
your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail answer
it for you.
4. S uspend 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. D o 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 is 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.
