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
handsfree device. A number
of handsfree wireless phone
accessories are readily
available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless
phone or a speaker phone
accessory, take advantage
of these devices if available
to you.
3. Position your wireless phone
within easy reach. Make
sure you place your wireless
phone 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.
