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.
5. Don’t take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an address
book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while
driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going.
It is common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation
because you are reading or
