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. 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

memorize the phone keypad
so you can use the speed dial
function without taking your

hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available
today. Whether you choose
an installed mounted device
for your wireless phone or a
speaker phone accessory, take

available to you.

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. 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. Don't 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. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation
because you are reading
