55 Driving Safety
If you choose to use your mobile device while driving, remember the
following tips:
• 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.
