Practice question · Safety and the law

Which phone use is allowed for a driver on an SC public road?

The rule

SC's Hands-Free and Distracted Driving Act covers every driver; it does not restrict earpieces or wrist-worn devices used for voice calls.

SC's Hands-Free Act does not limit earpieces or wrist devices used for voice calls. Holding a phone or texting is banned.

From the SCDMV Driver's License Manual, page 3-5. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
