Potentially Unsafe Areas
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features. These features help
you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
2 Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for
you.
3 Let the person with whom you are speaking know you are driving. If
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.
4 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Writing a
"to do" list or scrolling through your phone book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility: driving safely.
5 Dial sensibly. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue. If possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
6 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations. Make people
with whom you are talking aware that you are driving. Suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the
road.
7 Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical
emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
8 Use your wireless 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 9-1-1 or other local emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.
