10 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 hands-free device. A number of hands-free
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.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
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 is 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.
