Florida law prohibits using a wireless communications device in a handheld manner in which locations?
-
A.
Residential neighborhoods and business districts
-
B.
Highways and limited-access expressways
-
C.
Designated school crossings, school zones, and work zones Correct
-
D.
Parking lots and public parking garages
The answer is "Designated school crossings, school zones, and work zones"
The manual footnote names designated school crossings, school zones, and work zones as the places where handheld use is prohibited. Choice B tempts drivers who assume distracted-driving rules attach to high-speed roads; Florida ties the handheld ban to zones where pedestrians and workers share the roadway, not to roadway class.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Residential neighborhoods and business districts
The handheld ban is tied to specific safety zones, not to neighborhood type. Reads the ban as a general urban rule rather than a zone-specific one.
B. Highways and limited-access expressways
The manual attaches the handheld ban to protected zones, not to highway type. Assumes higher speeds must trigger the tightest phone rules.
D. Parking lots and public parking garages
Parking areas are not among the zones named in the footnote. Confuses places you stop the car with places the statute protects.
