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

fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency.
Remember, it’s a free call on your wireless phone!

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
