Cevap
Initiating or answering a call must require no more than a single button touch while the driver remains properly restrained in the normal driving position.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules strictly define lawful hands-free mobile communication: the device must be mounted or placed where it can be reached without unfastening the safety belt or leaving the standard seated driving position, and call operation must require no more than a single button touch.
