Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold. Always comply with
road safety regulations on using a mobile phone while driving.
Using a mobile phone while driving can be dangerous.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using
your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1.
Get to know your wireless phone 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 phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
