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 seat belts 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.
Wireless Phone “Safety Tips”
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless
phone which should be easy to remember:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed
dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn
to take advantage of valuable features most phones offer,
including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize
the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device. A number of hands free
wireless phone accessories are readily available today. Whether
you choose an installed mounted device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if
available to you.
