Verizon Wireless, owner and operator of the nation's most reliable wireless network, is committed to promoting and educating the public on the safe and responsible use of wireless phones while driving.

Verizon Wireless realizes the importance of driver responsibility and common sense while using a wireless phone and driving. It's a personal choice to use a wireless phone while driving, and we encourage our customers to use common sense and obey all vehicular laws if they choose to talk on a wireless phone while driving.

Verizon Wireless also supports legislation that calls for the required use of hands-free devices when driving and using a wireless phone, but gives permission for the unrestricted use of wireless phones for emergency calls. We do this because we believe this is the responsible way to use a wireless phone if drivers choose to do so when behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Verizon Wireless has taken numerous steps with our products to encourage safe and responsible driving.

• We offer only wireless phones that are adaptable for hands-free accessories.
• We offer a wide range of the most current wireless accessories, including hands-free car kits, headsets and earpieces at all of our Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, kiosks and on our website, www.verizonwireless.com.
• We promote the development of new wireless technologies that will make in-car phone use even easier than it is with the products we offer now.
• We encourage safe, responsible driving practices and offer these basic reminders.
• We encourage customers to pay attention to key dates that affect hands-free driving policies and legislation in their communities.
