"Scugog"s Community Newspaper of Choice" Driving safely with your cellular phone By M.H. Parnu In the relatively few years since Canadians were first introduced to cellular phone technology, the number of cellular phones in use has sur- passed 1.8 million across Canada. This number is expected to hit over 10 mil- lion by the year 2000. While worldwide there are approximately 52 mil- lion cellular subscribers, Canada holds the distinc. tion of having the longest continuous cellular corri- dor in the world -- from Windsor, Ontario to the tip of New Brunswick.

"If your unit is portable, always take it with you! Don'tleave it in your brief- case unattended or some- where in your car where it can be easily seen," says Karen Lock, in claims with The Co-operators. Along with the increase in theft claims, there is also the issue of increasing accidents due to cellular phone use. Drivers with a cellular phone in the car stand a one-third greater risk of having an accident than other motorists, ac- cording to the Wall Street Journal.

A cellular phone can recall any num- ber by touching only two or three buttons. * Use a hands-free unit, which allows you to keep both hands on the wheel while you talk on the phone. Install the micro- phone on the visor just above your line of vision so you can keep your eyes on the road. You can then drive and speak as if you were talking to a passen- ger in the car. * Learn how to operate your phone without look- ing at it.

Wait for a traffic light, or a stop sign, or safely pull off the road. Better yet, have a passen- ger dial for you. * Never take notes while driving. Carefully pull off the road if you must take notes. Use a tape recorder of (if you have one) the electronic scratch pad on your phone, which you can use to record numbers while you're talking. * Driving takes concen- tration and sometimes you get soinvolved in a conver- sation you drift into the other lane. Pull into the right hand lane while talk- ing, then you'll only have to worry about checking traffic to the left. "* Use the speed dialing feature on your phone to: 1. program frequently called numbers such as home, office, important cli- ents and family. 2. program phone num- bers for the local police and fire departments in case of emergency. 3. organize your day by programming important calls on the cellular phone first thing. 4. save time and frustra- tion looking for phone numbers or trying to re- member them. The cellular industry encourages users to pro- gram emergency phone numbers into their cellu- lar phone to report crimes In progress, accidents and other emergencies. Called "Cellular ~~ Samaritans," these phone users help make their communities a safer place to live and work. 1995 INTREPID ) -NEW- 1 Air, Auto, PS, & | PB, \ Discount + 1995 DODGE DAKOTA SPORT -NEW- =... 4 Auto or Bel standard, plus more options. -NEW- 8 Cyl, 4X4 plus i] many more {| options.
