When can you legally drive using your phone?

  1. When using a hands-free device

  2. When making an emergency call

  3. Under no circumstances

  4. When driving in a parking lot

The correct answer is: When using a hands-free device

Using your phone while driving is not safe and is considered distracted driving. It is illegal in many places to use your phone in any way while driving, including texting, talking on speakerphone, or using a handheld device. However, some places do allow the use of hands-free devices while driving. This option (A) allows you to use your phone in a safer manner while still staying within the law. Option B, making an emergency call, is only allowed in certain situations and should not be used for general phone usage. Option C, under no circumstances, is the safest option and is the best practice to follow. Option D, driving in a parking lot, is often a private property and not subject to the same laws as public roads, but it is still important to drive without distractions in order to ensure your own safety and the safety of others. Nonetheless, the safest and most legally acceptable option
