Driving Safety Tip Details
1. Get to know your phone and its features such as speed-dial and redial. (Carefully read
your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phone
models offer, including automatic redial and memory dial. Also, work to memorize the
phone keyboard so you can use the speed-dial function without taking your attention off

2. Use a hands-free device. (A number of hands-free phone accessories are readily
available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your phone or a
speakerphone accessory, take advantage of these devices. If driving while using a
phone is permitted in your area, we recommend using a phone headset or a hands-free
