1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Make sure you place your
wireless phone within easy
reach and where you can
reach it without removing
your eyes from the road. If
you get an incoming call at
an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.
4. 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.
