• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and
its features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call
without taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a
handsfree device. If possible, add
an additional layer of convenience
to your mobile device with one of
the many Motorola Original
handsfree accessories available today.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach.
Be able to access your mobile device without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let
your voicemail 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.*
• 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.
