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

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

including automatic redial

memorize the phone keypad
so you can use the speed dial
function without taking your
attention off the road.

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
necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow, and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your
first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.

driving. If you are reading an
