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 Do not 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's common
sense. Don't 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 9-1-1 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 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
1 0 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 still can 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.
Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a
hazard to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association and the wireless industry have
conducted educational outreach to inform wireless phone users of their
responsibilities as safe drivers and good citizens. As we approach a new
century, more and more of us will take advantage of the benefits of wireless
telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a responsibility to drive
safely.
The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.
