Driving safety tips
Wireless phones give people the ability to communicate almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies
those benefits, one that every wireless phone user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless
phone that should be easy to remember.
Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial.
When available, use a hands free device.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can
grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail
answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls
before you begin your trip. But if you need to dial while driving, follow
this simple tip--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.
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard
or medical emergency.
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see
an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number.
