Safety Guidelines
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.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting.

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 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 911 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 911 or
other local emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.
