ⅷ Position your phone within easy reach. Be able to access
your phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address
book takes attention away from your primary responsibility,
driving safely.
ⅷ Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If
you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
ⅷ 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 can divert
your attention away from the road.
ⅷ Use your phone to call for help. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or
medical emergencies.*
ⅷ Use your 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 911 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.*
ⅷ 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.*
* Wherever wireless phone service is available
