Wireless phone “Safety Tips”
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a
wireless phone which should be easy to remember:
Get to know your wireless phone and its features 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.
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 mounted device
for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these devices if available to you.
Position your wireless 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, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you.
Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations. 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 and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility 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, or
writing a “to do” list while driving a car, you are not
watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t
get caught in a dangerous situation because you are
reading 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, follow this simple tip-dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations
and driving do not mix-they are distracting and even
dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make
