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 911 or other local
emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard, or medical
emergency. Remember, it’s
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 non-
emergency assistance
number when necessary.
