5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an
addressbookorbusinesscard,orwritinga“to-do”listwhiledrivingacar,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.Dialsensiblyandassessthetraffic;ifpossible,placecallswhenyouarenotmoving
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.

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
hazardormedicalemergency.Remember,itisafreecallonyourwirelessphone!
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 nonemergency 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
