Comply with all safety warnings and regulations
regarding mobile device usage while operating
a vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your rst responsibility.
Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For
your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
Use a hands-free device.
•
Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed
•
dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to
place or receive calls on your mobile device.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your
•
wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you
receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail
answer it for you.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend
•
calls in heavy trafc or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and heavy trafc can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do”
•
list or ipping through your address book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the trafc. Place calls when you are not
•
moving or before pulling into trafc. Try to plan calls when your car
will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
•
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the
•
case of re, trafc accident, or medical emergencies.
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
•
accident, a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are
in danger, call a local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance
•
number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing
no serious hazard, a broken trafc signal, a minor trafc accident
where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.
