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 make your calls at times
when 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!
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 non-emergency 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 broken-down 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.
