Road Safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using
your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:

1.

Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as

speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you

to place your call without taking your attention off the road.

2.

When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add

an additional layer of convenience and safety to your

wireless phone with one of the many hands free

accessories available today.

3.

Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to

access your wireless phone without removing your eyes

from the road. If you get an incoming call at an

inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

4.

Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving;

if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous

weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy

traffic can be hazardous.

5.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through your address

book takes attention away from your primary

responsibility, driving safely.
