A radio station is changed using the up/down buttons on the steering wheel and the eyes are only needed to confirm the selected station. Though the rule is about physical interaction. Casting it through the dashboard is not physical interaction. It is distracting but probably less so than holding the device. I do not have a mobile phone and my Garmin Nuvicam has voice control. The car radio can be controlled through the steering wheel buttons. I must be in a radio blackpot here in deepest Lincolnshire as my car DAB signal drops out in several spots around here and my daughter's phone Sat Nav took her to a dead end lane one mile away when she visited here for the first time. There must be a fault with GPS phones as three workmen have ended up at the same remote location after using their phones as a Sat Navs, instead of a proper instrument like my Garmin which finds my house with ease. |

I use a MP3 player instead of a phone. How is it legal to change audiobooks in stationary traffic on a MP3 player but not a phone? If the audiobooks still came on CD's I would be legally changing a CD. |
