Explanation: The safest option is to switch off your mobile phone before you set off, and use a message service. Even hands-free systems are likely to distract your attention. Don't endanger other road users. If you need to make a call, pull up in a safe place when you can, you may need to go some distance before you can find one. It's illegal to use a hand-held mobile or similar device when driving or riding, except in a genuine emergency.

چلنے سے پہلے محفوظ ترین طریقہ یہ ہے کہ اپنا موبائل فون بند کرلیں اور میسیج سسٹم کا استعمال کریں۔ حتی کہ ہینڈز فری سسٹم بھی آپ کی توجہ ہٹا سکتا ہے۔ سڑک پر دوسرے لوگوں کو خطرے میں مت ڈالیں۔ اگر آپ کو کال کرنے کی ضرورت ہے تو کسی محفوظ مقام پر رکیں۔ اس سے پہلے کہ آپ کو کوئی ایسا مقام ملے کہ آپ کو کچھ فاصلہ طے کرنا پڑسکتا ہے ماسوائے حقیقی ایمرجنسی کے یہ غیر قانونی ہے کہ گاڑی چلنے یا سواری کرتے ہوئے ہاتھ میں پکڑنے والا موبائل یا اس جیسا کوئی دوسرا آلہ استعمال کیا جائے۔
