handsfree

Translation

hands-free

Calling or operating a device without holding it. A person driving a vehicle is forbidden to hold, while driving, a mobile electronic device that can be used for communication or information processing; a mobile phone, a tablet computer and a media player count in any case (art. 61a). The line is therefore holding, not talking, and the ban applies to every driver, on a bicycle too. Hands-free calling still distracts: your eyes look, your head listens.
