Drivers and learners in B.C.’s Graduated Licensing Program are not permitted to use hand-held or hands-free communications devices…?
- False
- True ✓
- At night
- On multilane highways
Answer: B. True
The correct answer is True: drivers and learners in B.C.’s Graduated Licensing Program may not use hand-held or hands-free communication devices while driving.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says this restriction covers both hand-held and hands-free communication devices, and it gives cellphones, music players, portable gaming devices and GPS systems as examples. It applies to drivers and learners in the Graduated Licensing Program while they are driving. If they need to use one of these devices, the handbook says to pull over and stop somewhere safe. That is why the statement is true rather than limited to certain times or roads.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. False — The statement is not false because the handbook directly says GLP drivers and learners may not use these devices while driving.
- C. At night — The restriction is not limited to nighttime; the handbook presents it as a general rule for GLP drivers while driving.
- D. On multilane highways — The restriction is not limited to multilane highways; it applies while driving, not only on a particular type of road.
Remember it
Pair GLP with “no device use while driving” — if you need the device, stop somewhere safe first.
