New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road safety

What are the requirements for a mobile phone holder in your vehicle?

The answer

  • It must be mounted on the windscreen in the centre
  • Holders are not permitted in NSW
  • Any holder is acceptable if the phone does not fall out
  • It must be commercially manufactured, fixed to the vehicle, and must not obscure your vision Correct

Why that's the answer

Phone holders must be commercially manufactured and fixed to your vehicle, and must not obscure your vision. When driving you must not hold the phone, nor let it rest on your leg or between your shoulder and ear.
