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.
Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use
the speed dial function without taking your
attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today.
Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of these
devices if available to you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless phone
within easy reach and where you can
reach it without removing your eyes from
the road. If you get an incoming call at
an inconvenient time, if possible, let your
voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous
driving conditions or situations. 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, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As
a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
5. Don’t 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. Do not 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.
