Assalamualaikum
From 9 November 2009, there will be some changes to the road safety rules about using mobile phones and visual display units.
Mobile phones
Using a mobile phone to make or receive a phone call while driving is prohibited except if the phone:is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle, orcan be operated by the driver without touching any part of the phone. All other functions (including video calls, texting and emailing) are prohibited. Holding the phone (whether or not engaged in a phone call) is also prohibited. Holding includes resting the mobile on the driver’s lap.Learner and P1 drivers, are not permitted to use a mobile phone at all while driving.
Visual display units
A driver must not drive a vehicle that has a television receiver or a visual display unit operating if any part of the screen is visible to the driver or is likely to distract another driver. A driver can use a driver’s aid such as a navigation device but it must be an integrated part of the vehicle design, or secured in a commercially designed holder, which is fixed to the vehicle.
Exemptions
The rule relating to securing visual display units does not apply to motorcycles.
What you have to do
Don’t use your mobile phone or your drivers aid when you are driving, unless it is within a commercially designed holder fixed to your vehicle.
Road safety reasons
Using a mobile phone or a visual display unit as you drive is distracting and creates dangerous situations that could be fatal.The risk of being involved in a crash increases by as much as four times, when using a mobile phone as you drive, and if you are texting the risk of crashing increases to 23 times.
