Under the General Traffic Regulations, using mobile phones while driving is prohibited, except in specific circumstances. The correct answer is the option about a hands-free system, because using a mobile phone is only allowed if you have a hands-free device that does not need earphones. This rule exists to prevent the driver from being distracted and to ensure road safety, because using the phone can take away the attention needed to drive safely.
