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.
• Use your mobile device to call for help.
Dial 911 or other local emergency number in
the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical
emergencies.*
• Use your mobile device to help others in
emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress, or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 911 or other
local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special
non-emergency wireless assistance
number when necessary. 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.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available.
