Smart Practices While Driving
Driving S afety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
devices and their accessories in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. The use of these
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain
areas—for example, handsfree use only may be
required. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart

Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice
and data—almost anywhere, anytime, wherever
wireless service is available and safe conditions
allow. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile
device while driving, remember the following tips:
• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its
features such as speed dial, redial and voice dial.
If available, these features help you to place your
call without taking your attention off the road.
• When available, use a handsfree device. If
possible, add an additional layer of convenience

• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be
able to access your mobile device without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive
an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.

traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be

driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going
through your address book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility—driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when your car is not moving or before
pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road
and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving
and suspend conversations that can divert your
attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 911 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident, or medical emergencies
(wherever wireless phone service is available).
• Use your mobile device to help others in
emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime
in progress, or other serious emergency where
