A driver in the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) wants to use a hands-free phone while driving. What does the guide say?

  1. Do not use it, except to call 9-1-1 for an emergency
  2. Use it, because hands-free phones are legal for all drivers
  3. Use it only on a highway
  4. Use it only for calls that last less than a minute
Show answer

Correct answer: Do not use it, except to call 9-1-1 for an emergency

GLP drivers cannot use any personal electronic device while driving. The only exception is a 9-1-1 call to report an emergency.
