When may you use your mobile phone while driving?

Using a mobile phone while driving is subject to strict regulations to ensure the safety of all road users. The only acceptable scenario is when you are using a hands-free kit. This allows you to maintain control of the vehicle with both hands and stay focused on the road ahead. Hands-free devices enable drivers to communicate without physically holding the phone, significantly reducing the risk of accidents that can occur from distractions caused by manual phone use.

Other scenarios, such as making a call whenever needed, using your phone at traffic lights, or when stopped in traffic can lead to dangerous distractions. During these times, a driver may not be fully attentive to their surroundings, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Therefore, it is important to follow the law and use a hands-free kit if telephone communication is necessary while driving to ensure safety.
