Drive Responsibly
When behind the wheel, safe driving is your
responsi bility and it should always be your first priority.
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phone
use and driving has been conducted worldwide for
several years. According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the available
research indicates that using a wireless phone while
driving degrades a driver’s performance, whether it is a
hands-free or hand-held wireless phone. NHTSA advises
that the “safest course of action is to refrain from
using a cell phone while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell
Phone Use While Driving,” as well as Frequently Asked
Questions on the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov
(click on “Driving Safety” then on “Distracted Driving”).
For your well being and the well being of those around
you, you should consider turning your phone off and
allowing calls to go to Voice Mail while you are driving.
If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving,
several jurisdictions have adopted “hands-free” and
other restrictions on the use of wireless devices while
driving. It is your responsibility to know and to comply
with the law in your area.
