Safety Guidelines
7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations 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.
10. Call roadside assistance or a
special wireless nonemergency
assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations
you encounter while driving may
require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call
for emergency services. But you
can still use your wireless phone
to lend a hand. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured or
a vehicle, you know to be stolen,
