10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice almost
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1 Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer
, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking
your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today
. Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3 Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can
reach it without removing your eyes from the road.
If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the
person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessar
y, suspend the call
in heavy traffi c or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffi c. As a driver, your fi rst responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
