New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · NSW licence rules

As a learner, when is the only time you may use your mobile phone?

The answer

  • When parked out of the line of traffic Correct
  • When driving under 40 km/h
  • When using navigation only
  • When stopped at traffic lights

Why that's the answer

Learners may only use a phone when the vehicle is parked out of the line of traffic — not while stopped at lights, and never while driving.
