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
can still 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.

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.
