Road Safety
Your wireless
Device
gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice,
almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless
Devices
, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless
Device
behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless
Device
and its features, such as speed dial and
redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer
of convenience and safety to your wireless
Device
with one of the many
hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless
Device
within easy reach. Be able to access your
wireless
Device
without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. 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.
5.
Do not take notes or look up
Device
numbers while driving. Jotting down a
“to
do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from
your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be
stationary. If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
