Use of mobile phones while driving in Austria

I’ve just come across this clear, English explanation of the rules for mobile phone (Handy) use while driving in Austria. It's from an official government website and covers:

• Making phone calls while the vehicle is moving

• Using your mobile phone as a navigation system (satnav)

• Using your mobile phone for text messages, Facebook, playing music, etc.

• Specific situations on the road (using your mobile at stop signs, in traffic jams etc.)

I think it might be useful to many internationals living and travelling in Austria:

The penalty for illegal use of a mobile phone while driving is €100 if paid on the spot (April 2024).
