Question: Texting while driving:
Answer options:
- Is allowed at red lights only ✅ Is illegal and dangerous
- Is safe with one hand
- Is fine with voice input only
Correct answer: Is illegal and dangerous
Explanation: Under Québec’s Highway Safety Code, using a hand-held device to text while driving is strictly illegal and dangerous because it severely impairs a driver's attention, coordination, and reaction time. The other options are incorrect because the prohibition applies at all times on public roads, including when stopped at red lights or in traffic congestion. Handheld voice-to-text or one-handed use still violates the law, which only allows fully hands-free systems. Distracted driving is a major focus on the SAAQ knowledge test, and understanding these strict rules is essential to passing and avoiding heavy fines and demerit points.
