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

devices if available to you.

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. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. If you are reading an address

list while driving a car, you are not watching
where you are going. It is common sense.
Don't get caught in a dangerous situation
because you are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to
