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 driv-
ing; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or haz-
ardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driv-
ing. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your
address book takes attention away from your primary respon-
sibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traf-
fic. 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 acci-
dent 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 seri-
ous 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 traf-
fic 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
