When are you allowed to use your cell phone while driving?

When using hands-free devices only.
When stopped at a red light.
When making an emergency call.
None of the above.

The correct answer is: None of the above.

Cell phone use while driving is a dangerous and distracting activity that should be avoided at all times. Using hands-free devices, such as Bluetooth or speakerphone, may seem like a safer option but it still requires cognitive and visual attention. Additionally, even when stopped at a red light, it is important to focus on the road and potential hazards. Making an emergency call is an exception, but it should only be done in true emergencies where pulling over to a safe location is not possible. None of the options provided in the multiple choice answers are entirely correct, as the best and safest answer is to not use your cell phone at all while driving.
