5. Do not take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. If you
are reading an Address Book or
business card, or writing a “to-do”
list while driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going. It is
common sense. Don’t get caught
in a dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or
nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic;
if possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan your calls before
you begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times you
may be stopped at a stop sign, red
light or otherwise stationary. But
if you need to dial while driving,
follow this simple tip— 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. Stressful or
emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel of
a car. Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.
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 911
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 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.
