Is the use of a mobile phone permitted while driving using any type of hands-free device?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Traffic Regulations prohibit the use of devices that diminish attention to driving. Specifically, the use of a mobile phone is only permitted if a true hands-free system is used, meaning one that does not require the use of headsets, headphones, or similar instruments inserted into the ear or covering it. The correct answer specifies that neither hands nor headphones may be used because:  Headphones/Headsets: Are prohibited as they acoustically isolate the driver from the environment (sirens, horns, engine noise), regardless of whether they allow hands-free talking.  Manipulation: Even if using the speakerphone, touching the mobile to dial or hang up remains a serious offense (loss of license points). Therefore, not 'any' device is valid (such as wired mobile headphones); only speaker systems or those integrated into the vehicle are allowed.
