Road Safety 

 
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, almost 
anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless 
phones, one that every user must uphold. 
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone 
behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips: 
 
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial. If 

available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the 
road. 

2 When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer of 

convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free 
accessories available today. 

3 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. 

4 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, ice and even 
heavy traffic can be hazardous. 

5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or 

flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary 
responsibility, driving safely. 

6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or 

before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need 
to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, 
then continue. 

7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make 

people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have 
the potential to divert your attention from the road. 

8 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! 

9 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. 

10Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when 

necessary. 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 number.
