The expanded definition of using a mobile phone includes which activities?

• A. Illuminating the screen, checking time, notifications, unlocking, making calls, sending content, and accessing apps.
• B. Only making calls
• C. Only texting
• D. Listening to music

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is what counts as using a mobile phone under the expanded definition for driving offences. Under this broader view, any action that involves touching or interacting with the phone’s screen or interface while in control of the vehicle counts as using it. That includes illuminating the screen to view content, checking notifications, unlocking the device, making calls, sending content, and accessing apps. Because it covers a wide range of interactions, the option that lists all those activities is the best choice. The other options only mention a single activity (like making calls or texting) or a scenario that doesn’t fully represent all the ways a phone can be used while driving.
