Smart Practices While Driving

takes attention away from your primary responsibility—driving
safely.

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls

when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If
you must make a call while moving, 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 can divert your
attention away from the road.

• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or other local

emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical
emergencies.*

• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you

see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.*

• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency

wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless number.*

* Wherever wireless phone service is available.
