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.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are

not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your
car will be stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be

distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local

emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical
emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. 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 non-emergency wireless

assistance number when necessary. 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 number.

“The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.”
