10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind
the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as
voice activated dialing, speed dial and redial. If available,
these features will help you to place your call without
taking you attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of
hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily
available today. Whether you choose an installed
mounted device for your wireless phone or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if
available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able
to access your wireless phone 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.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; If necessary, suspend the call especially In heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions. As a driver, your
first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a to do list or flipping through an
address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
