Question

according to regulations, what is the proper way to use a mobile phone while on the road?
hold the phone as long as you keep one hand on the wheel.
only use a hands - free device that is properly mounted and requires a single touch to operate.
wait until you are stopped at a red light to send a text.
ask a passenger to hold the phone for you.

Explanation:

To determine the proper way to use a mobile phone while on the road, we analyze each option:

• Holding the phone with one hand on the wheel is still a distraction and not proper.
• Using a hands - free device that is properly mounted and requires a single touch to operate is in line with traffic safety regulations as it minimizes distraction while allowing necessary phone use.
• Sending a text at a red light is still a distraction as the driver's attention is on the phone, not fully on the road situation (e.g., when the light turns green or other road events).
• Asking a passenger to hold the phone is not a standard regulatory - based proper way as it depends on having a passenger, and the main focus should be on using hands - free in a regulated way.

Answer:

B. Only use a hands - free device that is properly mounted and requires a single touch to operate.
