Appendix A Message from the CTIA

call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice

can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is

to pay attention to the road.

5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an

address book or business card, or writing a "to do" list while driving a car, you

are not watching where you are going. It’s common sense. Don’t get caught in a

dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention

to the road or nearby vehicles.

6 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 coincide 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 simple tip--dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors,

then continue.

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

9-1-1 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 9-1-1 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 still can 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.

Careless, distracted individuals and people driving irresponsibly represent a hazard

to everyone on the road. Since 1984, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry

Association and the wireless industry have conducted educational outreach to

inform wireless phone users of their responsibilities as safe drivers and good

citizens. As we approach a new century, more and more of us will take advantage of

the benefits of wireless telephones. And, as we take to the roads, we all have a

responsibility to drive safely.

The wireless industry reminds you to use your phone safely when driving.
