2. When available, use a hands free device.
If possible, add an additional layer of convenience
and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
Be able to access your wireless phone
without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. 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, ice, and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a "to do" list or
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving
safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic.
Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make
a call while moving, 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.
Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the
potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary.
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 wireless industry
reminds you to use your phone safely when driving. " For more information, please call I-888-901
