As long as you are just looking for navigation apps, do you think it is correct to hold your phone while driving? Think about it.

The state appeals court ruled Tuesday that state law prohibits drivers from texting or talking on their phones while driving, which also makes it illegal for a phone to hold a phone to view a map on the screen.

The court ruled that drivers do not need to swipe or attack on navigation applications to violate the law. Just check the map on your phone on the screen to prove that being dragged onto the ticket.

When lawmakers adopted current state laws that prohibit drivers from “operating” their phones while driving, they did so “reduce distracted driving due to advances in modern phones and encourage drivers to turn their eyes to the road,” the Court of Appeal ruled.

The court ruled that drivers operated by fixed phones and single sweepers were exempted, but viewing the map while holding the phone would violate current laws.

"Even without touching the phone's screen, allowing the driver to hold the phone and view the mapping application, is contrary to the intent of the legislature," the ruling said.

Nathaniel Gabriel Porter's ruling was voted after he drove in his left hand and looked at a map after applying. According to the court ruling, Porter defended the vote but lost his initial court appearance and was ordered to pay a $158 fine.

Porter appealed the appeals division of the Santa Clara County Superior Court and revoked the ruling, which the Superior Court ruled at the time that “operating” the cell phone required “active use or manipulation of the equipment.”

The court ruled at the time: "Only observing GPS instructions on the phone did not constitute that active use or manipulation to trigger a violation."

But the appeals court in California's Sixth Appeal District disagreed and revoked the decision Tuesday, noting that in writing and intended law says it is illegal to look at the phone while driving and hold it.

The current version of the law passed by the Legislature in 2016 was introduced after a previous court decision also raised questions about the legal version of California regarding telephone and driving.

The case also emerged when the driver was found guilty of violating the law, as he was looking at the map on his phone while driving. However, when the case arrives at the Court of Appeal, it interprets the term “use” in the legal language as prohibiting listening and speaking while holding a cell phone and driving.

According to the court's written judgment, this interpretation is because the state's law must be used in a "free listening and talking".

In 2016, the law was amended, with lawmakers pointing out that mobile phones now have more of the role of "pocket computers" and that the law is too narrow.

The California Court of Appeal issued its ruling on Tuesday that when the existing law was drafted, the parliamentary committee of transportation and appropriations concluded that the new law would prohibit wireless phones from being used for any purpose while driving, and include “all decentralized behavior related to mobile devices.”

This will include playing games on your phone, browsing the internet, and recent rulings, viewing maps on your phone’s screen while holding your device.
