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.
