Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a 'to do' list or flipping through
your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility; driving safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility - Give your full attention to driving. Check
the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using a wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and any features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands free device.
3. 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, ice, and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
4. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
5. 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.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the Emergency services, (9-1-1 in the US,
and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident,
or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone! The call can
be made regardless of any security codes and depending on a network; with or without a
SIM card inserted.
