Using the phone while driving a rental car

Using a phone while driving is already part of every driver's journey, but this does not mean that it is safe. This bad habit has led to many tragedies, there have been very serious accidents that we all know about, but often, people rely on the principle "This can't happen to me." Safety always comes first, and the unpredictable does not forgive anyone.

Whether you drive your own car or one rented from the Alfa rent a car Cluj Avram Iancu airport company, it is good to know some useful information on this subject:

What you need to know about using a mobile phone in the car:

• If you use your phone while driving, you are breaking the law and risk receiving a fine, and, in some cases, even losing your driver's license;
• The fines for such an illegality are between 1,305 and 2,900 lei, according to Government Emergency Ordinance no. 195/2002 on traffic on public roads.
• Currently, the use of a mobile phone while driving is only allowed with a “hands-free” device.

Useful tips to avoid possible incidents:

• Use a holder for your phone so that you don’t have to hold it in your hand while using it, for example, for GPS;
• Set the route you are going to follow before setting off;
• If you need to make changes to change the route, pull over and set the new destination;

We recommend holders that can be attached to the air vent, to keep the windshield as clear as possible.

That said, using a phone or other gadgets that distract the driver while driving is prohibited, and the risk you take by breaking the law is very high. Often, your behavior behind the wheel can take or save lives.
