Comply with all safety warnings and regulations
regarding mobile device usage while operating
a vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never
use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety
and the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
Use a hands-free device.
•
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial
•
and redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to place or
receive calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless
•
device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend calls
•
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list
•
or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. 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, dial only a few numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
•
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case
•
of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.
