For Your Safety
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. 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.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your mobile device
while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s
local laws or other regulations regarding such use. Such laws or other regulations may
prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use his or her phone while
operating a vehicle.
