Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
An adult with a full license is driving a moving car on an ordinary nonemergency trip. May the driver hold a phone to continue a voice conversation?
Correct answer: No; continuing that ordinary handheld call is prohibited.
Why
For this ordinary moving-vehicle call, the driver may not use a hand to operate the phone. Maryland separately permits initiating or ending a call and turning the phone on or off, and lists emergency and specified operational exceptions. Writing, sending or reading text while operating on the traveled portion is separately restricted. Stop safely off the road for a task that cannot be done lawfully and safely while driving.
