JURISDICTION-AWARE ROAD RULES
Road rules for where you are driving
Plain-English answers to practical road-rule questions, with the source, effective date and limits kept beside the answer.
Look up a rule ↓Evidence-led · dated · transparent about gaps
Ask about a road rule.
Start with where you are driving, then choose a question. The result is a research aid, not legal advice.
YOUR LOOKUP
Using a mobile phone while driving
Guernsey · Passenger vehicles
THE SHORT ANSWER
Yes, with conditions.
You must not hold or use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. A hands-free device may be used only when it does not block your view or control of the vehicle.
What this means
Hands-free does not mean risk-free. You remain responsible for driving safely and for following any more specific restriction in the source.
Browse by place or topic.
These starting points are deliberately small. A rule earns a page when it has a stable source and a useful answer.

03 · METHODOLOGY
Useful, but never overconfident.
RoadRules separates the wording of a rule from our plain-English explanation. If the source is missing, stale or jurisdictionally unclear, the answer says so.
Match
Connect each question to a named jurisdiction and an admitted source.
Label
Show whether the answer is a direct text match, a calculated result or an interpretation.
Bound
State the effective date, geography, vehicle scope and known exclusions.
SOURCE REGISTER
Where the rules and driving context come from.
Rules and contextual statistics are kept separate. A pass rate or vehicle count never becomes legal advice.
