Yes if you are REALLY careful.
You should set your phone to answer automatically so you are not fiddling with buttons on the headset or the phone (kinda defeats the object)
Mine I can set to answer straight away or after a few rings... I set it to two rings - as a warning to me - on my Bluetooth/headset profile.
If you are fiddling with the phone - or the headset, or having an animated conversation you could still be pulled and fined.
Remember that your PRIMARY concern when driving is the fact that you have a ton or more of high speed metal that you are supposed to be in control of.

yes you can..
You cant hold the phone whilst driving...! Blutooth head set, or hands free kit... as long as you have two hands on the wheel you should be fine
but what about if you smoke.. you will only have one hand available.. .??! (thats a distraction right)
But i think they needed to become tougher with the mobile phones... am slowly moving away from your question but i hope i answered it above...

i inspect all sides of the arguement yet there have been many study that obviously tutor that utilizing a telephone at the same time as utilizing - hands loose or no longer - will boost the probability of having an coincidence. at the same time as i became operating as a nurse, I observed an entire kin come by the wellbeing facility who were hit by a driver on a telephone. moms and dads were both killed, little boy died on the operating table & different baby lived yet is a vegetable. Now - you tell me that utilizing is telephone is probability-free! no count number what all of us would imagine, we ought to continually evaluate the files & take this count number heavily. utilizing does favor truly some concentration to do it appropriately & avert injuries. i ask your self how any individuals would sense if a relative of ours became injured or killed by someone who flouted this regulation. Please do not deny the files. We use quite some parts of our brains at the same time as utilizing, speaking etc & at the same time as utilizing a telephone, it really is diverse to easily talking to someone who's interior the vehicle with us. We use diverse parts of our brains because the message is coming in by on ear in effortless words. i became overtaken the former day by a driver who became texting. Chop off his bloody hands if I had a probability. Sheer insanity. Please imagine about this regulation. i comprehend that some are genuine killjoy guidelines & we can't see the experience in it - yet I do trust that this regulation hasn't lengthy gone a recommendations sufficient.

Legally yes, but research suggests that even with a hands free phone, the concentration on driving is greatly weakened while using the phone, even on hands free.
But it is only phones in your hands which is actually illegal.

Yes, but the phone must be either in your pocket or in a secure mount in the car. Pressing the button on your earpiece or other handsfree set-up, or pressing a button on a mounted phone is ok. Anything more is illegal. Also please remember that you are concentrating on driving, don't let your caller take over your brain.
