car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone 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.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. If possible,

add an additional layer of convenience and safety to
your wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able

to access your wireless phone 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. 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.

5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while

driving. Jotting down a "to do" list or flipping through
your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.

6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place

calls when you are not moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
If you need to make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
