Correct answer
- BNo, porque está prohibido.No, because it is prohibited.
Explanation
When you are stopped at a traffic light you are still driving, because the vehicle is on the road and in traffic. Article 18.2 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits using a mobile phone while driving, unless the call is made without using your hands and without earphones or a headset.
