Safety Guidelines
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. 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.
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.
