Your attention will be distracted away from drivingThis was the right answer

It's illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. Using a hands-free system doesn't mean that you can hold a conversation and drive safely at the same time; it will still distract your attention from the road. Act responsibly and wait until you've parked before using your mobile phone.
