Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
This question is about talking on the phone while driving a tram without holding the receiver or microphone in your hand. Such a conversation is allowed - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits using a phone while driving if it requires holding the receiver or microphone in your hand. Talking through a hands-free kit or an earphone does not break this ban. However, it is not completely safe, because the conversation takes your attention away from the road. A tram driver keeps calls to the necessary minimum and interrupts them in difficult situations - at junctions, near stops and at pedestrian crossings. Public transport companies may also have their own, stricter rules.
