Question 7928

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because it takes your eyes off the road.

Yes. To read the map, you take your eyes off the road, and during that time, however brief, you cannot see what is happening ahead, whether you are driving slowly or not. The driver in the image is also holding it open in front of the steering wheel. Check your route before setting off or stop somewhere safe.
