Under what circumstances may you use your cellphone while driving?

Using a cellphone while driving is a significant safety concern, and regulations have been established to minimize distractions on the road. The correct choice allows the use of a hands-free device because it helps drivers maintain their focus on the road. Hands-free technology enables drivers to communicate without needing to hold the phone, which can substantially reduce the risk associated with distracted driving.

Legislation typically restricts mobile phone use to ensure that drivers remain attentive to their surroundings. This means that while there are situations where more traditional cellphone use is prohibited, hands-free devices are designed to facilitate communication safely while allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

In contrast, options that suggest only using a phone when parked, viewing urgent situations, or while waiting at traffic lights do not fully reflect the understanding that hands-free options are specifically permitted to promote safety during driving. While parked might seem a safe time, it does not apply during active driving situations where safety should be maximized. Moreover, the interpretation of "urgent" can vary greatly and lead to increased risk if driving is distracted. Lastly, being stopped at traffic lights does not equate to being safely parked and can still pose dangers if attention is diverted to the phone instead of the roadway.
