10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice almost
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips:
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 handsfree device. A number of handsfree 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.
