Cellular Phone - SAFE DRIVING TIPS
• Safe driving is your first priority.
• Always buckle up, keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
• Make sure that your phone is positioned where it is easy to see and easy to reach before you drive.
• Be familiar with the operation of your phone, so that you're comfortable using it on the road.
• Use the hands-free feature on your phone (if it has it) or a microphone while driving.
• Use the speed dialing feature to program in frequently called numbers... then you can make a call by touching only two or three buttons. Most phones will store up to 99 numbers.
• When dialing manually without the speed dialing feature, dial only when stopped.
• If you can't stop, or pull over, dial a few digits, then survey traffic before completing the call. (Better yet, have a passenger dial.)
• Never take notes while driving. Pull off the road to jot something down; if it's a phone number, many mobile phones have an electronic scratch-pad that allows you to key in a new number while having a conversation.
• Let your wireless network's voice mail pick up your calls when it's inconvenient or unsafe to answer your cell phone. You can even use your voice mail to leave yourself reminders.
• Be a cellular Samaritan – Dialing 9-1-1 is a free call for cellular subscribers; use it to report crimes in progress or other potential life-threatening emergencies, accidents or to report drunk driving.
