Nine 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, when permitted by local law, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1. When available and permitted by local law, 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.
2. 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.
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
