inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer
it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your
address book 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 (wherever wireless
phone service is available).
• 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
(wherever wireless phone service is available), 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).
