Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless
telephone. Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful
ability to communicate by voice--almost anywhere, anytime--with the
boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with
the police. Each year, Americans make billions of calls from their
wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that
every wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but
good judgment must be exercised at all times while driving a motor
vehicle--whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires
alertness, caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic
common sense---keep your head up, keep your eyes on the road, check
your mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires
obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed limit. It
means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This
brochure is a call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety
their first priority when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless
telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives,
protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others
in need.
