Ten Driving Safety Tips
Your BenQ wireless phone gives you the
power to communicate by voice – almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important re-
sponsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user
must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wire-
less phone behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and re-
member the following tips:
Get to know your phone and its fea-
tures such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer including,
automatic redial and memory dial –
most phones can store up to 99 numbers
in memory dial. Also, work to memorize
the phone keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without taking your
attention off the road.
When available, use a hands-free device.
A number of hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today.
Whether you choose an installed mount-
ed device for your phone or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of these
devices if they are available to you.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where you
can grab it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming
call at an inconvenient time, let your
voicemail answer it for you.
Suspend conversations during hazard-
ous driving conditions or situations.
Let the person you are speaking to know
you are driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow
and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsi-
bility is to pay attention to the road.
Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
If you are reading an address book or
business card while driving a car, or
writing a “to do” list, then you are not
watching where you are going. It’s com-
mon sense. Don’t get caught in a dan-
gerous situation because you are read-
ing or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic.
If possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you begin your
trip, or attempt to coincide your calls
with times you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light or otherwise stationary.
But if you need to dial while driving, fol-
