Cingular Wireless Says: 'Don't Be a Turkey This Thanksgiving. Be
Sensible.' NEW YORK, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- An estimated 30.6
million Americans* will be on the highways this Thanksgiving
holiday, and Cingular Wireless would like to remind all wireless
users to "Be Sensible" and make driving safely their top priority.
"Through the 'Be Sensible' program, Cingular promotes the safe use
of wireless phones while driving all year long," said Thomas
DeVito, Vice President and General Manager in New York and New
Jersey for Cingular Wireless. "With the increased traffic expected
during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, it's even more important
to pay attention to the road and limit your number of
distractions." Cingular educates consumers about wireless safety
with in-store messaging, on-product messaging, customer
communications, a partnership with Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. to
educate rental car users on wireless safety, as well as an
award-winning educational video on distracted driving for new
drivers, available to educators free of charge. Teachers interested
in receiving a copy of the video can go to
http://www.be-sensible.com/ . Cingular's "Be Sensible" campaign
offers drivers the following tips for safe driving: - Make driving
safely your first priority. If the call will be distracting, wait
until your trip is completed to place it. - Dial sensibly and keep
your eyes on the road. Use speed dial and redial. Or, place your
call before pulling into traffic. - Use a hands-free device when
available. - Don't take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. - Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
situations. - Don't engage in stressful or emotional conversations
that might be distracting. - Remember, dialing 911 is always a free
call. Lives can be saved, crimes prevented and drunk drivers taken
off the road. *Thanksgiving holiday travel statistic from AAA ABOUT
