Question: Hand-held cell phone use while driving is:
Answer options:
- Allowed at stoplights ✅ Prohibited
- Allowed for short calls
- Allowed if you use the speaker
Correct answer: Prohibited
Explanation: Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, holding or using any hand-held communication device while driving is strictly prohibited. This rule applies at all times, meaning incorrect options allowing usage at red lights, for short calls, or while holding the device on speakerphone are completely illegal. To use a phone lawfully, it must be mounted and operated hands-free. Drivers may only touch a phone if they have safely pulled off the road and parked, or to call emergency services. For the G1 exam, remember that "driving" includes being temporarily stopped in traffic, and distracted driving carries heavy fines and license suspensions.
