Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A guide to safe and responsible wireless phone use while
driving
Wireless devices give consumers the freedom to stay connected with
family and friends, to conduct business and to have fun virtually any-
time, anywhere. But, when it comes to using wireless phones behind
the wheel, it's important to remember that safety always comes first.
Drivers face many distractions in the car – from eating and drinking to
playing music or talking with other passengers. The wireless industry
has worked closely with the public safety community, to help educate
drivers on the range of distractions they face behind the wheel as well
as when it is appropriate to place or receive a wireless phone call. Edu-
cational efforts that provide practical and sound advice, rather than
legislation, are the best methods to truly affect driver behavior in a
positive way.
Through industry-sponsored public service announcements and out-
reach, drivers are reminded to, before reaching for the phone while
driving, ask themselves, "Is this call necessary?" If it is necessary to use
a wireless phone while driving, the wireless industry encourages drivers
to follow some basic do's and don'ts to ensure that a wireless phone
doesn't become a distraction.
Your wireless phone can be your best traveling partner – offering a life-
line in emergencies, helping to locate directions and keeping you con-
nected with family and friends when necessary. In fact, wireless phones
are one of the best safety tools drivers can have on the road. Every day,
more than 200,000 calls are made from wireless phones to 911 or other
emergency services. That's about 140 calls every minute. More Ameri-
cans are using their wireless phones to report emergencies, to prevent
crimes, and even to save lives.
But safety should be every driver's top priority. That means making
good judgment calls about when it's appropriate to use your wireless

phone. It also means keeping your eyes on the road and being cautious
and courteous of other drivers. Every state has hazardous or inatten-
tive driving laws to discourage distracted driving – no matter what the
cause.

Driving Tips

If it is necessary to use a wireless device while driving, the wireless
industry encourages drivers to follow some basic do's and don'ts to
ensure that a wireless device doesn't become a distraction.
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial.
2. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
3. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
are not moving.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if neces-
sary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather condi-
tions.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Use a
hands-free device for convenience and comfort.
6. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that might
divert your attention from the road.
7.
Dial 911 or other local emergency numbers to report serious emer-
gencies — it's free from your wireless phone!
8. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
9. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless num-
ber when necessary.
So, play it safe and remember, with wireless, safety is your call!
