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.
6.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 coincide your calls with
times you may be stopped at a
stop sign, red light, or otherwise
stationary. But if you need to dial
while driving, follow this simple tip
- 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. Stressful or
emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel of
a car. Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations
