Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in North America take advantage of the unique
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless telephone.
Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to communicate
by voice—almost anywhere, anytime—with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with
emergency personnel or even with the police. Each year, North Americans make
billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that every wireless
phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
A wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good judgment must be exercised
at all times while driving a motor vehicle—whether on the phone or not.The basic
lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution
and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common sense—keep your head up,
keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out for other
drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the speed
limit. It means using seatbelts and requiring other passengers to do the same. But
with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This brochure is a call
to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety their first priority when behind
the wheel of a car. Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying
our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others in
need. When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.
