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 Quebec's Highway Safety Code, holding or using a hand-held device while driving is strictly prohibited. This prohibition applies even when stopped at a red light or caught in traffic, which invalidates the incorrect options regarding stoplights, short calls, or holding the phone while using its speaker. To comply with the law, drivers must use a completely hands-free system that requires no physical handling of the device. This rule is a major focus on the SAAQ knowledge test, as candidates are frequently tested on the fact that temporary traffic stops do not excuse hand-held phone use.
