Road Safety

Types of Screens That Are Prohibited

Any screen that can be viewed from the driver's seat and that does not comply with legislative provisions is prohibited.

For example:

• television,
• portable or hand-held computer (except in GPS mode),
• game screen,
• portable game console,
• digital camcorder,
• digital camera,
• MP3 or portable multimedia player,
• portable satellite radio,
• DVD player,
• cell phone screen (except a “hands-free” telephone service function).

To prevent distraction, in-car devices designed specifically for use in a vehicle (ex. GPS, satellite radio) are recommended. In-car devices have road safety features that other portable devices do not.
