Under what condition may an adult driver use a wireless telephone while driving?

Adult drivers may use a wireless telephone while driving as long as the device is hands-free. The key idea is to avoid holding the phone in your hand, which reduces manual distraction and keeps your focus on the road. Using a hands-free setup — like a Bluetooth headset or car’s built-in system — lets you talk without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off traffic, which is why this option is allowed. The other statements aren’t correct because you don’t need a passenger to use the phone, you’re not restricted to emergencies only, and using a handheld phone is not permitted for driving.
