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 common sense and remember 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 features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the road.

 

2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number

 

of hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily

 

available today. Whether you choose an installed

 

mounted device for your wireless phone or a

SAFETY

speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these

easy reach and where you can reach it without

 

devices if available to you.

 

3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within

 

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. Don’t 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. Do not 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.

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-
