Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere,
anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones, one
that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
•
Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
•
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.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do” list or
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility
of driving safely.
•
Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when
you will not be driving.
•
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.
•
Use your mobile 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 the emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
•
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, local traffic authority or police station.
