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 co-
incide 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 sim-
ple tip — dial only a few numbers, 
check the road and your mirrors, 
then continue.
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 neces-
sary, suspend phone conversations 
that have the potential to divert your 
attention from the road.
Use your phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the 
greatest tools you can own to pro-
tect yourself and your family in dan-
gerous situations — with your 
phone at your side, help is only three 
numbers away. Dial 9-1-1 in the case 
of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, 
or medical emergency. Remember, it 
is a free call on your wireless phone.
Use your phone to help others in emer-
gencies.
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 emergen-
cies where lives are in danger, call 9-
1-1, as you would want others to do 
for you.
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 to 9-1-1. 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 numbers.
