Other driver’s obligations.

Article 18. Other driver’s obligations.
1. The driver must maintain his own freedom of movement, the necessary field of vision and permanent attention to driving that guarantee their own safety, that of the rest of the occupants of the vehicle and that of other road users. The driver must therefore take care to maintain the correct driving position, that passengers are properly seated, and that objects or transported animals are properly loaded so that none of them interfere with the driver (LST Art 11,2). The use by the driver with the vehicle in motion of devices such as screens with access to the internet, television monitors and video or DVD players is considered incompatible with obligatory permanent attention to driving. Excepted are the use of monitors in the driver’s field of vision and whose use is necessary for reversing, as well as GPS devices.
2. It is prohibited to drive and use helmets or earpieces connected to audio devices, except during a motorcycle driving test.
The use is prohibited whilst driving of mobile telephony devices and any other means or system of communication, except when the the communication takes place without using hands or accessories (LST Art 11,3).
Exempt from this prohibition are agents of the authorities in the exercise of their official duties (LST Art 11,3).
3. It is prohibited to fit, carry or use in vehicles, devices prepared or designed to elude monitoring by traffic officers, or that emit or make signals with this purpose, as well as the use of radar detection equipment.
