DDifficulty 2/5

A bus driver receives a call from their company while driving. May they answer by holding or handling the mobile phone by hand?

Correct answer

No, using it that way while driving is prohibited.

No. A call from the company does not permit holding or handling a mobile phone by hand while driving. The hands-free exception requires communication without using the hands or headphones, earpieces or similar devices. Keep your attention on driving; if you need to handle the phone, first stop somewhere lawful and safe.
