Alcohol, drugs and distractionsQuestion 34 of 318

A driver says a hands-free phone is safer than a hand-held phone. Is this true?

  1. Yes. Both hands stay on the wheel.
  2. Yes, but only below 50 km/h.
  3. No. The call itself is a mental distraction.
  4. No. The police fine all hands-free use.
Show answer

Correct answer: No. The call itself is a mental distraction.

Hands-free use is allowed, but it is not safer. The call itself takes your attention from the road.
