AMDifficulty 2/5

A private driver handles a mobile phone while driving an AM moped or light quadricycle. Is this permitted?

Correct answer

No, it is prohibited and can distract.

No. Article 18 prohibits handling a phone while driving. This applies by day and night, including slow-moving traffic. Diverting vision, attention or a hand can delay responses and impair vehicle control. To use it manually, stop and park in an authorised, safe place; a temporary traffic stop is not parking. A permitted hands-free system does not eliminate distraction either.
