What is forbidden when driving a passenger car?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Using a phone which requires holding a mouthpiece in a hand.
Explanation
When driving a passenger car, you are not allowed to use a phone that requires you to hold the mouthpiece or handset in your hand - answer B. Carrying intoxicated passengers (A) is not prohibited, and you may use cruise control (C) in town too, as long as you are in control of your speed.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits the driver from using, while driving, a phone that requires holding the handset or mouthpiece in the hand. Talking through a hands-free kit is allowed, but it is still distracting. The seconds spent with a phone in your hand mean several dozen metres driven blind - that is why you read a message after stopping in a safe place.
Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 2 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
