Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You are an adult driver with a full license. Freeway traffic is stopped, and your car is in a travel lane. A text message arrives on your phone. When may you hold the phone and read the message?
Correct answer: After you stop lawfully out of the travel lanes and block no traffic
Why
Minnesota's hands-free law bans holding a phone while you drive, and it bans reading or typing messages. These bans also apply when you stop in traffic or at a light. Traffic in a backup can start to move at any time, and a driver who looks down reacts late. An adult driver may use voice commands to make a call or to send a spoken message without holding the phone, but reading messages is still not allowed.
