When using your phone in the car:
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial
and redial.
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or
before pulling into traffic.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your
attention from the road.
Dial to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your
wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
