13.3 Driving safety
Never use the handheld devices whilst driving. It is an offence whilst driving to hold a phone or cradle
it in your neck, at any point during the setup, making or taking of a phone call, text message or any
other data related mobile communication. Use of fully installed car kits is still permitted, as are the use
of alternate hands-free accessories.
In the interest of safety, we would recommend to use cradle whilst using any form of hands-free
accessory.
We recommend that you use voicemail wherever possible, and that you listen to your messages when
you are not in the car. If you must make a hands-free call when driving, keep it brief.
