National Cell Phone Safety Week

Cell phones are wonderful...Well, let me say this...can't live with 'em...can't live without 'em...what did we do before them? But I do think we could be a bit safer when using them in the car.

Many saftey outlets have put together a list of Cell Phone Safety Tips-Here are a few:

Get to know your phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.

Use hands free devices.

Position your phone within easy reach or let your voice mail answer it for you.

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic.
If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. .If you need to dial while driving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

Use your phone to help others. It provides you a perfect opportunity to be a "good Samaritan"
