1. Get to know your wireless
phone and its features such
as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction

Also, work to memorize the
phone keypad so you can use

take advantage of these
devices if available to you.

call at an inconvenient time,

hazardous driving conditions

your first responsibility is to
pay attention to the road.

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.
