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 of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations which
have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
8 Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect yourself
and your family in dangerous situations
— with your phone at your side, help
is only three numbers away. Dial 911
or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard
or medical emergency. Remember, it is a
free call on your wireless phone!
9 Use your wireless phone to help others
in emergencies. Your wireless phone
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
other 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 phone 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.
