When behind the wheel, safe driving is your responsibility and it should always be
your first priority.
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phone use and driving has been
conducted worldwide for several years. According to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), the available research indicates that using a
wireless phone while driving degrades a driver’s performance, whether it is a
hands-free or hand-held wireless phone. NHTSA advises that the “safest course of
action is to refrain from using a cell phone while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell
Phone Use While Driving,” as well as Frequently Asked Questions on the subject,
are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click on “Traffic Safety” then on “Drowsy and
Distracted Driving”). For your well being and the well being of those around you,
you should consider turning your phone off and allowing calls to go to Voice Mail
while you are driving.
If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving, several jurisdictions have
adopted “hands-free” and other restrictions on the use of wireless devices while
driving. It is your responsibility to know and to comply with the law in your area.
