May an ordinary lorry driver hold a telephone conversation while driving without using their hands, audio headsets or earphones?

Correct answer

Yes, hands-free, without earphones and while maintaining attention.

Yes, through a hands-free system without headsets, earphones or similar devices, while maintaining attention to driving. The driver may not handle the phone while driving. There is no general statutory one-minute call limit; even hands-free conversations can distract. To deal with a call requiring handling, park safely and legally.
