Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is a serious offense that results in the loss of 3 points.

No. Operating the navigation system by hand while driving is a serious offense punishable by a 200-euro fine and the loss of 3 points. It is not a crime, and being able to control the vehicle does not mean you are allowed to do it. In the image, the driver is typing the address on the screen while driving. Enter your destination before you leave, or stop in a safe place.
