Safety Guidelines
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
94
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 91 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
91 1 or other local emergency
number, as you would want
others to do for you.
