MTS reminds you to make safe driving your first priority when using your cell phone in a vehicle.
MTS encourages teenage drivers to take control of their calls when using a cell phone in their vehicle to keep them – and others on Manitoba's roads – safe.
Remember to follow these safety tips.
- Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel
- Use a cellular hands-free device so you can keep both hands on the wheel
- When making a call, dial only when stopped, or have a passenger dial for you
- Never take notes while driving. Pull off the road if you need to write something down
- Don't engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road
- Let voice mail pick up your calls when it's inconvenient, unsafe to answer the phone, or driving conditions become hazardous
- Program frequently called numbers into the speed dial feature of your phone for easy, one-touch dialing, or use voice-activated dialing, if available
- Call 911 to report crimes, life-threatening emergencies, accidents or drunk drivers
Highway condition reports are available on www.mywinnipeg.com and the MTS Mobile Web.
