Wireless Phone “Safety Tips”
Below are safety tips to follow while driving and using a wireless
phone which should be easy to remember:
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
grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice
mail 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 Contact list 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
