Safety Guidelines
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.
