You are 30 and have a regular license. You drive through a highway work zone where crews work next to your lane. Your phone rings, and you want to hold it to answer. It is not an emergency. What does Wisconsin law say?
Correct answer: You may not use a handheld phone here, except to report an emergency.
Why
Road workers stand very close to moving traffic, and one moment of distraction can kill a worker. The law allows only a voice-operated, hands-free device, but the handbook advises no phone use at all in a construction zone. The same ban applies where emergency or roadside crews work.
