KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD!
Driving while talking on the cell phone can be very dangerous. Many states have passed laws against the use of
holding a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle.
ASF recommends completing phone calls
before driving, but if you must talk on a cell phone while driving, many state laws require the use
of hands free cell phone devices such as, "Bluetooth."
While using hand free devices make sure that you are
pulled over and stopped before dialing phone
numbers and/or text messaging! Also avoid other dangerous habits such as eating, changing radio etc.
Keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road!
PASSENGER ALERT!
It is human nature to seek eye contact while talking...
Drivers should warn passengers not to distract
them or seek eye contact, as driving requires concentration and focus on the road ahead. The
use of hands free cell phone does not entail looking at a passenger.
CELL PHONE HANDS FREE CAMPAIGN
Since most drivers insist on using cell phone while driving, ASF is currently seeking sponsorship to help drivers
obtain hands free/Bluetooth equipment at reduced pricing while aiding the good cause of automobile safety.
Interested companies respond to Automobile safety Foundation P.O. Box 12183, La Jolla, CA 92039. 858 834 4345

PHONE SAFETY INNOVATIONS
ASF recommends that the auto industry pioneer cell phone communications that offer generic hookup through the
automobile's radio with vocal command dialing. Additionally, new vehicles could have built in,
standard equipment cell phones.
The Automobile Safety Foundation does not manufacture or distribute cell phones, hands free devices
, or any auto safety equipment.
