Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate almost anywhere, anytime, but an important
responsibility accompanies the benefi ts of mobile phones, one
that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your
fi rst responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the
wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
• Use a hands free device to add an additional
layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands
free accessories available today.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you
are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffi c or hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffi c can
be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers
while driving. Typing up a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention
away from your primary responsibility of
driving safely.
• Place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffi c. Try to plan calls when you
will not be driving.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the
road.
