How to Drive Handbook Practice Test

The main idea here is that driving laws aim to reduce distraction from phone use by banning handheld use while allowing hands-free communication in many places. That’s why the best answer is that it’s illegal unless you’re using a hands-free device—the rule commonly allows hands-free use, with the exact details varying by location. Some jurisdictions may have stricter bans or different exceptions, but the general approach is to prohibit holding a phone and to permit hands-free operation. The other statements are too absolute or too narrow: there isn’t a universal “always illegal,” and it isn’t limited only to school zones or only to highways in most places.
