Correct answer
No, including while waiting at a traffic light.
No. Stopping at a traffic light or travelling slowly does not authorise that use. The exception for communication without hands or headphones or similar devices does not permit holding or handling the phone and does not eliminate distraction. This rule sets no generic maximum conversation duration or ban on protective helmets: a helmet is not a headphone. Certified or approved devices integrated into motorcycle helmets for communication or navigation have specific rules.
