phone with one of the many hands-free accessories
available today.
Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to
access your wireless phone 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.
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.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a To Do list or flipping through your Address
Book takes your attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
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.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Make the people with whom you are
talking aware that you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or
medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone!
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If
you see a car accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious
hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or any other special non-
emergency wireless number.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area and always switch off your phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or
danger.
