Explanation
Using a cell phone while driving is a major source of distraction and increases the risk of a crash. In California, it is illegal to text while driving or use a phone in any way that takes your hands off the wheel. Adult drivers may only use a cell phone in hands-free mode, and only when necessary.
If you must use a phone, it should be mounted on the windshield, dashboard, or center console in a position that does not block your view of the road. To answer calls legally, use a single swipe or tap on the mounted phone without holding it.
