What does California's hands-free phone law require?

California’s hands-free rule means you must not hold a phone while driving. To stay compliant, use a hands-free device such as Bluetooth, a speakerphone, or your car’s built-in system, and operate it with voice commands or steering-wheel controls so your hands stay on the wheel. Texting while driving is also prohibited. A wired headset isn’t required; any hands-free setup that avoids holding the phone satisfies the rule.
