The basic lessons are ones we all learned as teenagers.
Driving requires alertness, caution and courtesy. It
requires a heavy dose of basic common sense-keep
your head up, keep your eyes on the road, check your
mirrors frequently and watch out for other drivers. It
requires obeying all traffic signs and signals and staying
within the speed limit. It means using seat belts and
requiring other passengers to do the same.
But with wireless phone use, driving safely means a
little more. This brochure is a call to wireless phone
users everywhere to make safety their first priority
when behind the wheel of a car. Wireless
telecommunications is keeping us in touch, simplifying
our lives, protecting us in emergencies and providing
opportunities to help others in need. When it comes to
the use of wireless phones, safety is your most
important call.
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 voicemail answer it for you.
