Smart Practices While Driving

Drive Safe, Call Smart
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use
of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
Contact www.motorola.com/callsmart for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and data—
almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available
and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device while
driving, remember the following tips:
Get to know your Motorola mobile device 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.
When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience to your mobile device with
one of the many Motorola Original™ handsfree accessories
available today.
Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access
your mobile device without removing your eyes from the
road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
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.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a "to do" list or going through your address
book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the
road and your mirrors, then continue.
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 can divert your
attention away from the road.
