Driver duties and responsibilityQuestion #15397
Can a driver hold a mobile phone in their hand and use it while driving?
Explanation
The rules strictly forbid drivers from using a mobile phone if it is held in the hand. It is one of the main causes of crashes, because it takes the driver's attention off the road. Only hands-free equipment may be used.
KET reference: KET 20: drivers are forbidden to use mobile communication devices if they are operated by hand.
