Sample question from test 3
safe-driving
What exception does Washington allow an intermediate license holder to make with a cell phone while driving?
- Use the phone only to report an emergency
- Use it whenever a hands-free device is available
- Use it for navigation but not for calls
- Use it when a passenger holds the phone
Answer: Use the phone only to report an emergency. Intermediate license holders cannot use a cell phone or other mobile electronic device while driving, even with hands-free technology. The guide gives one narrow exception: using the phone to report an emergency. Hands-free operation, navigation, and having a passenger hold the device do not create additional exceptions in this rule. The safest cue is license stage first, technology second. If an urgent situation requires a report, make that emergency use; otherwise pull over safely before handling the phone or device.
