Question 6592
If you do not have a hands-free device, can you use a cell phone while driving a vehicle?
- Yes, as long as the vehicle is stopped.
- No, since using your hands is required.
- Only on urban roads and while reducing speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, since using your hands is required.
No. Without a hands-free device, you would have to hold the phone, and using it by hand while driving is prohibited, including in the city and at low speeds. When stopped at a traffic light or in a traffic jam, you are still driving, so it is prohibited then too. If you need to make a call, stop somewhere safe where stopping is allowed.
