Driving Safety Tips Details

1 Get to know your smartphone and its features such as speed-dial

and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to

take advantage of valuable features most smartphone models

offer including, automatic redial and memory dial—most

smartphone models can store up to 99 numbers in memory dial.

Also, work to memorize the smartphone keyboard so you can use

the speed-dial function without taking your attention off the road.

2 When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free

smartphone accessories are readily available today. Whether you

choose an installed mounted device for your smartphone or a

speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if

available to you.

3 Make sure you place your smartphone within easy reach and

where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road.

If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your

voicemail answer it for you.

4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or

situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are

driving; if necessary, suspend the 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 while driving a car,

or writing a to-do list, then 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. Make people you are talking with aware you

are driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations which

have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

8 Use your smartphone to call for help. Your smartphone is one of

the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your

family in dangerous situations-with your smartphone at your side,

help is only three numbers away. Dial 911 in the case of fire,

traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies.

Remember, 911is a free call on your smartphone.
