24 hours after the entry into force of the new Law on Traffic and Road Safety, the General Director of Traffic, Pere Navarro, answered the doubts of Internet users in an online meeting. Many of the questions dealt with the tightening of penalties for use of the telephone; most wanted to know what are the legal ways to carry the mobile in the car.

Since March 21, any driver who is discovered holding the mobile with his hand while driving is sanctioned with an economic fine of 200 euros and the loss of six points from the driving license.

This balance doubles the one that was subtracted up to that date; In addition, the wording of the rule is modified in such a way that not only its use is sanctioned, but also the mere fact that the driver carries it in his hand, even if it is turned off.

The legal way to carry the mobile in the car

The rule says, verbatim: “the driver of a vehicle is obliged to maintain his own freedom of movement, the necessary field of vision and permanent attention to driving.”

It is from this article that the legal ways of carrying the mobile in the car if you want to use it are interpreted and, above all, those that are not and can lead to a fine.

The fact that he is obliged to maintain his own freedom of movement invalidates the option of carrying it in the hand; the part of ensuring “the necessary field of vision” means that the brackets that fix the mobile to the windshield are not an option either.

This does not mean that if you want or need to use your mobile phone as a navigator or as a radar warning device (its use is allowed), you will have to do it properly, that is, with an approved and legal support.

As Pere Navarro explained in that digital meeting, the use of the mobile as a navigator or radar warning device is allowed if it is attached to the dashboard, in such a way that it does not impede the driver’s movements or limit his visibility. It must be firmly attached, using suction cups or magnets, as in the image:

Another legal option to carry the mobile phone in the passenger compartment is to attach it to the air vents.

That yes, although nobody will fine you if you carry the device correctly and use it as a navigator or warning device, what you should not do in any case is to manipulate it while driving; in that case, you could be proposed for sanction.
