Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions or the
law require it.

10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice almost
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of wireless phones,
one that every user must uphold.

When operating 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.
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.
