When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, when permitted by local law, practice good common sense and remember
the following tips:
1.
When available and permitted by local law, 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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
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 coincide your calls with times you may be at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise
