A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Tens of millions of people in North America today take advantage of
the unique combination of convenience, safety and value delivered by
the wireless telephone. Quite simply, the wireless phone gives people
the powerful ability to communicate by voice-almost anywhere,
anytime with the boss, with a client, with the kids, with emergency
personnel or even with the police. Each year, North Americans make
billions of calls from their wireless phones, and the numbers are
rapidly growing.
But an important responsibility accompanies those benefits, one that
every wireless phone user must uphold. When driving a car, driving
is your first responsibility. A wireless phone can be an invaluable
tool, but good judgment must be exercised at all times while driving a
motor vehicle whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers. Driving
requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of
basic common sense-keep your head up, keep your eyes on the road,
check your mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It
requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying within the
speed limit. It means using seat belts and requiring other passengers
to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a little more. This
brochure is a call to wireless phone users everywhere to make safety
their first priority when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless
telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying our lives,
protecting us in emergencies and providing opportunities to help
others in need. When it comes to the use of wireless phones, safety
is your most important call.
