Comply with all safety warnings and regulations
regarding mobile device usage while operating a
vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use
your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and
the safety of others, use your common sense and remember the following tips:
Position your device within easy reach. Make sure you can access your
•
wireless device without taking your eyes off the road.
Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
•
snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or
•
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or
•
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
•
distracting. Make the person you are talking to aware that you are driving
and suspend conversations that could potentially divert your attention from
the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of
•
fire, traffic accidents, or medical emergencies.
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see a car accident, a
•
crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a
local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number
•
when necessary. 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 that you know to be stolen, call a number that is designated for
reporting these types of situations.
