Safety
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’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 nonemergency
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 brokendown 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.
