Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Hold and use a cellphone or hand-held wireless device while driving, even at a red light
Holding or manipulating a hand-held device while driving — including at red lights, while stopped in traffic — is illegal in Ontario. Fines can exceed $600 for a first offence and include three or more demerit points. Hands-free use is permitted if the device is mounted.

- D.Use your car's built-in navigation screenBuilt-in navigation screens are not covered by the distracted driving ban unless you are actively manipulating them.
