Decision workshop · Fitness to drive

Reason from the conditions, not from a memorised answer. Read the scene, choose, then open the explanation. The drawing is illustrative; the written conditions control the question.

1. Identify the decisive details

You are stationary at a red light, waiting with traffic. Your phone is not in a holder. May you pick it up to read a message?

2. Compare the possible decisions

  1. Yes, until the light turns green.
  2. Yes, if I keep the handbrake applied.
  3. No; waiting at a traffic light is still part of driving.
Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: C · No; waiting at a traffic light is still part of driving.

A traffic-imposed wait is not the legal stopping or parking exception. Do not hold or manipulate an unmounted mobile screen device. The handbrake does not change the situation; read the message after parking legally and safely.

3. What changes if the situation changes?

After legally and safely parking, the traffic-light situation no longer applies. A phone in a holder still must not distract you from safe control.
