For Your Safety 180

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.

5.Donottakenotesorlookupphonenumberswhiledriving.Ifyouarereadingan

address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, you

are not watching where you are going. It is common sense. Don’t get caught in a

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.

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

hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on 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

10.Callroadsideassistanceoraspecialwirelessnonemergencyassistancenumber

whennecessary.Certainsituationsyouencounterwhiledrivingmayrequire

attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But

you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down

vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident

where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside

assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
