You want to make a telephone call while driving. What must you be aware of?

In German traffic law, using a telephone while driving is only allowed if you use a hands-free unit. This ensures your hands remain on the wheel and your attention is focused on driving. If you want to use the phone without a hands-free device, the vehicle must be completely parked in a suitable place, and the engine must be fully turned off. Simply moving at walking pace does not permit phone use without hands-free, as this still requires your full attention. Following these rules helps prevent distraction and increases road safety.
