Safety Guidelines
114
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 is 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.
