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.

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

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.

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.
