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 911 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident, road 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.
