Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Driver A uses a phone in a dashboard mount for GPS directions and does not touch it while driving. Driver B holds a phone in one hand to read the map while driving. Which driver breaks Virginia's handheld device law?
Correct answer: Only Driver B
Why
A phone in your hand takes your eyes, a hand and your attention away from driving. Set your route before you start, and if you must use the phone, pull over and stop in a safe place. Since July 1, 2026, Virginia law also forbids a driver to start, join or interact with a live stream while driving, except to report an emergency or a crime.
