Drive responsibly
When behind the wheel, safe driving is your responsibility
and it should always be your rst priority.
Scientic research on the subject of wireless phone
use and driving has been conducted worldwide
for several years. According to the National Highway
Trac Safety Administration (NHTSA), the available
research indicates that using a wireless phone while
driving degrades a driver’s performance, whether it is a
hands-free or hand-held wireless phone. NHTSA advises
that the “safest course of action is to refrain from using a
cell phone while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell Phone
Use While Driving,” as well as Frequently Asked Questions
on the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click on
“Trac Safety” then on “Drowsy and Distracted Driving”).
For your well being and the well being of those around
you, you should consider turning your phone o and
allowing calls to go to Voice Mail while you are driving.
If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving,
several jurisdictions have adopted “hands-free” and other
restrictions on the use of wireless devices while driving. It
is your responsibility to know and to comply with the law
in your area.
