10 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, 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. 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.
2. When available, 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.
3. 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 for you.
4. 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.
5. Don't take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. If you are reading an address book or
business card, or writing a "to-do" list while driving
a car, you are not watching where you are going. It
is common sense. Do not get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or
writing and not paying attention to the road or
nearby vehicles.
