Ask about a road rule.
Start with where you are driving, then choose a question. The result is a research aid, not legal advice.
YOUR LOOKUP
Using a mobile phone while driving
Guernsey · Passenger vehicles
THE SHORT ANSWER
Yes, with conditions.
You must not hold or use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. A hands-free device may be used only when it does not block your view or control of the vehicle.
What this means
Hands-free does not mean risk-free. You remain responsible for driving safely and for following any more specific restriction in the source.
Browse by place or topic.
These starting points are deliberately small. A rule earns a page when it has a stable source and a useful answer.
03 · METHODOLOGY
Useful, but never overconfident.
RoadRules separates the wording of a rule from our plain-English explanation. If the source is missing, stale or jurisdictionally unclear, the answer says so.
