Not in violation of law


PETALING JAYA: As long as motorists use hands-free kits or holders for their cellphones, they would not be flouting the law if they swipe or touch the display screen to make or receive phone calls.

Under Rule 17A of the Road Traffic Rules 1959, it is an offence to use a cellphone while driving a vehicle unless it is with a hands-free kit or holder.
