Driving and walking safely

Give your full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility. You are responsible for knowing and obeying the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive.

Research In Motion recommends that you do not use your BlackBerry device while you drive. Instead, consider having a passenger in the vehicle use your BlackBerry device for you, or find a safe location to stop your vehicle before you use your BlackBerry device.

Store your BlackBerry device safely before driving your vehicle. Do not use any charging accessory as a means of storing your BlackBerry device while you are in a vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not place your BlackBerry device or other objects above the air bag, or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly stored or installed, and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Radio frequency (RF) signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. If any equipment has been added to your vehicle, you should also consult the manufacturer of that equipment for information on RF signals.

Do not use your BlackBerry device while walking or engaging in any activity that requires your full attention. Inattention to vehicular traffic or other pedestrian hazards could result in serious injury, death, or property loss.
