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 which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can own
to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only
three numbers away. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s a free call on your wireless phone!
9
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a perfect
opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress
or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.
10
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary.
Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to
merit a call for emergency services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. 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 or other special
non-emergency wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your mobile device while operating
a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations
regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner in
which a driver may use his or her phone while operating a vehicle.
