Safety

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you

aren't 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. Don't engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be

distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving don't mix;
they're distracting, and even dangerous, when you're behind the wheel
of a car. Make people you're talking with aware you're 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’s
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.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance

number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving
may require attention, but aren't 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.

The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use
your mobile device while operating a vehicle, it’s recommended that you
consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations
regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or
