Safety Guidelines

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. Position your wireless phone within

easy reach. 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

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
