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’s 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.
The above tips are meant as

to use your mobile device while
operating a vehicle, it is
recommended that you consult
your applicable jurisdiction’s local
laws or other regulations regarding
such use. Such laws or other
regulations may prohibit or
