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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 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, and then check the road and your mirrors then continue.
6. Do not 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. Use 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.
7. 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!
8. 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.
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. 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
above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your mobile device while operating a vehicle,
it is recommended that you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations regarding such
use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use his or
