Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime.
But an important responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense and remember
the following tips:
1.
Get to know your wireless phone and its
features, such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
2.
When available, use a hands-free device. If
possible, add an additional layer of
convenience and safety to your wireless phone
with one of the many hands free accessories
available today.
3.
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.
4.
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.
