A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in the U.S. today take advantage of the unique
combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by the wireless
telephone. Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people the powerful ability to
communicate by voice—almost anywhere, anytime—with the boss, with a client,
with the kids, with emergency personnel or even with the police. Each year,
Americans make billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are
rapidly growing.But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one
that every wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your
first responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable tool, but good
judgment must be exercised at all times while driving a motor vehicle—whether
on the phone or not.The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers.
Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic
common sense—keep your head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your
mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic
signs and signals and staying within the speed limit. It means using seatbelts and
requiring other passengers to do the same. But with wireless phone use, driving
safely means a little more. This brochure is a call to wireless phone users
everywhere to make safety their first priority when behind the wheel of a car.
Wireless telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives,
protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help others in need.
When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety is your most important call.
