Safety is the most important call you will ever make.

■ A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless

Phone Use While Driving

Wireless devices give consumers the freedom to stay connected with

family and friends, to conduct business and to have fun virtually anytime,

anywhere. But, when it comes to using wireless phones behind the wheel,

it’s important to remember that safety always comes first.

Drivers face many distractions in the car – from eating and drinking to

playing music or talking with other passengers. The wireless industry has

worked closely with the public safety community, to help educate drivers

on the range of distractions they face behind the wheel as well as when it

is appropriate to place or receive a wireless phone call. Educational efforts

that provide practical and sound advice, rather than legislation, are the

best methods to truly affect driver behavior in a positive way.

Through industry-sponsored public service announcements and outreach,

drivers are reminded to, before reaching for the phone while driving, ask

themselves, “Is this call necessary?” If it is necessary to use a wireless phone

while driving, the wireless industry encourages drivers to follow some basic

do’s and don’ts to ensure that a wireless phone doesn’t become a distraction.

Your wireless phone can be your best traveling partner – offering a lifeline in

emergencies, helping to locate directions and keeping you connected with

family and friends when necessary. In fact, wireless phones are one of the best

safety tools drivers can have on the road. Every day, more than 200,000 calls

are made from wireless phones to 911 or other emergency services. That’s

about 140 calls every minute. More Americans are using their wireless phones

to report emergencies, to prevent crimes, and even to save lives.
