During ordinary car driving, which form of telephone communication falls within the general exception, provided attention and safety are maintained?

Correct answer

Without hands, headphones or earphones, maintaining attention and safety.

Communication without using hands, headphones, earphones or similar devices, under article 18. Hands-free does not remove distraction: avoid calls and stop in a lawful, safe place if the phone needs attention. Waiting at a red light remains part of driving and does not permit handling it. The rule sets no number of seconds that makes a call safe. This scenario excludes specific regimes for officers, military convoys and certified devices integrated into motorcycle or moped helmets.
