Correct answer

  • CSólo cuando se utilice un dispositivo manos libres.Only when you use a hands-free device.
Explanation

While driving, using mobile phones and any other means or system of communication is prohibited, except when the call takes place without using your hands and without using a headset, earphones or similar devices. Being stopped at traffic lights does not mean we are not driving, because we are still part of the traffic flow and the prohibition still applies. We may only use the mobile phone with a hands-free device.
