Correct answer
- ALos sistemas de “manos libres”.Hands-free systems.
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.
