Can drivers smoke and answer phone calls while driving? Explain the reasons.

1. Item (13) of Chapter 4, Article 26, of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to smoke while driving.

2. The "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that while driving a motor vehicle, you are not allowed to make phone calls, answer handheld phones, or watch TV. Drivers who violate the above regulations will be fined not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. And score 2 points. In addition, 2 points will be deducted for using mobile phones to send text messages and post on Weibo.

The police said that using a handheld phone while driving affects judgment and affects safe driving. It is a behavior that hinders safe driving. If you make a phone call while driving a vehicle, it will increase the burden on the driver's brain and delay the reaction time. Moreover, when making a phone call, it is easy to focus on the driver's eyes and prevent him from paying attention to the surrounding environment. What's more, arguing on the phone will aggravate the driver's negative emotions, leading to behaviors such as unconsciously stepping on the accelerator, endangering one's own safety.
