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 9-1-1 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is 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 9-1-1 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 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 an educational outreach program 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.
