accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember, it’s a free call on
your wireless device!
9. Use your wireless device to help others in emergencies. Your wireless
device provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or another local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance
number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving
may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can still use your wireless device to lend a
hand. 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.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult
your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations regarding such use.
Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner
in which a driver may use his or her device while operating a vehicle.
