Correct answer to question 36 (Passenger): It takes attention away from the road and passengers who are depending on the driver's full focus

Why

A passenger vehicle driver is responsible for many people at once, so any distraction that reduces attention, including phone use, is treated as a serious violation regardless of conditions.
