Correct answer

  • ALos sistemas de “manos libres”.Hands-free systems.
Explanation

Using mobile phones or any other means or system of communication while driving is prohibited, except when the call takes place without using your hands and without using a headset, earphones or similar devices. A driver's level of attention drops when they use a mobile phone, even with a hands-free device. Talking on the phone, even hands-free, creates a mental load that distracts the driver and reduces their ability to concentrate on driving. Several studies have shown that a phone conversation can affect reaction time and the perception of the road environment.
