6. 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 or attempt to coincide your
calls with times you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. 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.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and driving do not mix;
they are distracting and even dangerous when you
are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you
are talking with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations which have the
potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your
wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can
own to protect yourself and your family in

other local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency.
Remember, it’s a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. 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.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary.
Certain situations you encounter while driving
may require attention, but are not urgent enough
to merit a call for emergency services. But you
can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand.
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.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines.
Before deciding to use your mobile device while
operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you
