It's important to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road at all times while driving. Distracted driving is one of the main causes of accidents. While you are behind the wheel, you should avoid all distractions and focus on safe driving. Although hands-free devices are permitted, if your phone rings, it's best to not answer the call.
