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
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.
2
Position your wireless device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device
without removing your eyes from the road.
3
Do not take notes or
operate
while driving. Jotting down a
"
to do
list
"
or flipping through
your notes takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
4
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.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your device safely when driving.”
