10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless device gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice almost

anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits of

wireless devices, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car, driving is

your first responsibility.

When using your wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common

sense and remember the following tips:

1.Gettoknowyourwirelessdeviceanditsfeaturessuchasspeeddialandredial.

Carefullyreadyourinstructionmanualandlearntotakeadvantageofvaluable

features most devices offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work

to memorize the device keypad so you can use the speed dial function without

taking your attention off the road.

2.Whenavailable,useahandsfreedevice.Anumberofhandsfreewirelessdevice

accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted

device for your wireless device or a speaker device accessory, take advantage of

these devices if available to you.

3.Positionyourwirelessdevicewithineasyreach.Makesureyouplaceyour

wireless device 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.

5.Donottakenotesorlookupdevice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.
