What is the rule about using mobile devices while driving?

Not using handheld devices while driving is the rule. If you need to use a phone or device, you should either use a hands-free setup or pull over to a safe spot and use it there. This covers the safest ways to stay focused on the road: you avoid handling the device while the vehicle is in motion, and you only use it in a way that doesn’t divide your attention from driving. The other options don’t fit because they either require using a handheld device while driving, or they only mention hands-free use without allowing the option to pull over and use the device safely, or they imply texting while driving is acceptable.
