Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.
Dial to report serious emergencies. It’s free
from your wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when
