For Your Safety 190
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.
5.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 is 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.
6.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.
7. 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 people you
are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8.Useyourwirelessphonetocallforhelp.Yourwirelessphoneisoneofthe
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous
situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial

hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9.Useyourwirelessphonetohelpothersinemergencies.Yourwirelessphone
provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community.
If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where
livesareindanger,call911orotherlocalemergencynumber,asyouwouldwant
others to do for you.
10.Callroadsideassistanceoraspecialwirelessnonemergencyassistancenumber
whennecessary.Certainsituationsyouencounterwhiledrivingmayrequire
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But
you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. 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 you know to be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
