What does the manual say about text messages and emails while driving?
-
A.
Reading is fine; sending is not.
-
B.
Voice-to-text is allowed on the freeway.
-
C.
Do not send or read them. Correct
The answer is "Do not send or read them."
The manual bans both sending and reading text messages and emails while driving. The pull toward A comes from the intuition that receiving a message is safer than composing one, a split the rule does not recognize.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Reading is fine; sending is not.
The manual bans both reading and sending; there is no receive-only split. This answer assumes receiving a message is safer than composing one.
B. Voice-to-text is allowed on the freeway.
The manual sets no voice-to-text carve-out; the text ban is absolute while you drive. This answer imports a hands-free workaround the manual does not endorse.
