Drive Responsibly
When behind the wheel, safe driving is your responsibility and
it should always be your first priority.
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phone use and
driving has been conducted worldwide for several years.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion (NHTSA), the available research indicates that using a wire-
less phone while driving degrades a driver’s performance,
whether it is a hands-free or hand-held wireless phone. NHTSA
advises that the “safest course of action is to refrain from using
a cell phone while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell Phone
Use While Driving,” as well as Frequently Asked Questions on
the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click on “Traffic
Safety” then on “Drowsy and Distracted Driving”).
For your well being and the well being of those around you,
you should consider turning your phone off and allowing calls
to go to Voice Mail while you are driving.
If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving, several
jurisdictions have adopted “hands-free” and other restrictions
on the use of wireless devices while driving. It is your respon-
sibility to know and to comply with the law in your area.
