Safety Guidelines
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.

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

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,
