Driving Safety Tips Details
1. Get to know your smartphone and its features such as speed dial and
redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most smartphones offer including,
automatic redial and memory dial-most smartphones can store up to 99
numbers in memory dial. Also, work to memorize the smartphone
keypad so you can use the speed dial function without taking your
attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free
smartphone accessories are readily available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted device for your smartphone or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your smartphone within easy reach. Make sure you place your
smartphone within easy reach and where you can grab it without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are
reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing
a “to do” list, then you are not watching where you are going. It’s
common sense. Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby
vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you
begin your trip, or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need
to dial while driving, follow this simple tip-dial only a few numbers, check
the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix-
they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the
wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your smartphone to call for help. Your smartphone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations-with your smartphone at your side, help is only
three numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, 9-1-1is a free call on your
smartphone!
9. Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies. Your smartphone
provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other
