Comply with all safety warnings and regulations
regarding mobile device usage while operating a
vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first
responsibility. Never use your mobile device while
driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and
the safety of others, use your common sense and
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your device and its convenience
features, such as speed dial and redial. These features
help you reduce the time needed to place or receive
calls on your mobile device.
• Position your device within easy reach. Make sure
you can access your wireless device without taking
your eyes off the road. If you receive an incoming call
at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer
it for you.
• Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy traffic
can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting
down a“to do” list or flipping through your address
book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make the
person you are talking to aware that you are driving
