Safety Guidelines
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.
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.
