Question 7958

While driving a passenger car, is it allowed to use a mobile phone if a hands-free device is not used?

  1. Only when the vehicle does not have a Bluetooth connection.
  2. Yes, as long as headphones or earphones are used.
  3. No, it is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.

No. Without a hands-free device, you would have to hold the phone, which is prohibited while driving. Headphones or earbuds are not allowed either, and it makes no difference if the car does not have Bluetooth. The driver in the image is talking with her cell phone in her hand, which she must not do. If you need to make a call, stop somewhere safe.
