- B Holding the phone to read directions on a map

Show answer
D. Taking a call hands-free after starting it with a single touch
Ohio drivers 18 and older may make and receive calls using hands-free technology, as long as they do not type letters, numbers or symbols, and they may turn the device on or off only with a single touch or swipe. Holding or supporting the phone is otherwise illegal; the one calling exception is holding it to your ear during a call.
