Question 3924

With the vehicle in motion, is a driver allowed to operate a GPS navigation device?

  1. Yes, since it does not pose any danger.
  2. Yes, as long as it does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
  3. No, since it is incompatible with the required attention to driving.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, since it is incompatible with the required attention to driving.

No. While the vehicle is moving, you must not operate the navigation device with your hands, even if you think it does not interfere with driving, because it is incompatible with paying constant attention to driving. Program it before you set off. In the image, the driver is touching the screen while driving, which is prohibited.
