Question 5582

In a traffic jam where vehicles are stopped, is it allowed to use a cell phone?

  1. No, except on urban roads.
  2. Only with a hands-free device and without using headphones.
  3. Yes, because the vehicle is not moving.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only with a hands-free device and without using headphones.

In a traffic jam like the one in the picture, you are still driving even if the car is not moving, and the same rule applies as when you are moving, including in the city. You may talk without using your hands, headphones, or earphones, but you must not pick up your cell phone. If you need to use it, leave traffic and stop somewhere safe where stopping is allowed.
