Driver distraction is a major cause of accidents, and strict rules apply to device usage.
Prohibited Actions:
Holding or using a mobile phone while driving—including texting, calling, or browsing—is illegal.
Permitted Use:
Hands-free systems may be used, but only if they do not divert the driver’s attention. Setting navigation or making calls must be done before the vehicle begins moving.
Enforcement:
Surveillance systems and roadside checks monitor compliance. Violations may result in fines and points on the driver’s record.
