3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make
sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach
and where you can reach 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.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking
with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. 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. 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. It is common sense.
Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not paying attention to the
road or nearby vehicles.
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 dangerous situations -- with
your phone at your side, help is only three numbers
away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is 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
