Call For Safety

Cellular telephones are used for countless 9-1-1 calls along the streets and highways, summoning ambulances, police and firefighters to save lives and property.

Unfortunately, mobile phones cause many collisions by distracting the driver’s attention from the road. 

Consider these tips for safer cellular use:

• Try not to dial or talk while driving.  Pull over when you can safely do so.
• Make use of speed dialing and redial features so you do not have to take your eyes off the road. 
• Learn to answer and hang up without looking. 
• Don’t be shy about cutting off a conversation instantly when you run into a tricky driving situation. 

On the positive side of cellular phone use, you may have an opportunity to call for emergency help for someone.  Keep emergency numbers for your region posted on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Whether you are using the cellular phone in the company truck or in your own family vehicle, make every effort to focus on driving safely.
