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 writing and not
paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
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. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are distracting
and even dangerous when you are
behind the wheel of a car. Make people
you are talking with aware you are
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
