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 speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and
learn to take advantage of valuable features
most phones offer, including automatic
redial and memory. Also, work to memorize
the phone keypad so you can use the speed
dial function without taking your 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. 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.
