10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency 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 still can 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.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a
hazard to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational
outreach to inform wireless phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and
good citizens. As we approach a new century, more and more of us will take
advantage of the benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads,
we all have a responsibility to drive safely.
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.
