Safety
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 voicemail
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. Do not 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!
