Hi are tracked vehicles permited on Jersey roads ?? Thank you..😃😃
Hi Andy, Could you clarify what you mean by tracked vehicle, tracking as in electronic tracking or tracking that makes contact with the road?
Are you allowed on bicycle, to cycle down no entry and one direction lane/roads?
Many thanks.
Generally speaking, the answer is no, cyclists should obey all traffic signs and laws. However, some roads in St Helier are signed to allow cyclists to ride against the flow of traffic on one way roads.
Is it illegal to use a mobile phone via blue tooth hands free
Hi Colin, The Law as it stands in Jersey say you must not ‘hold’ a mobile phone whilst driving. Therefore you can legally drive and use a hands free device. However, this is not safe. We would strongly recommend that drivers don’t use hands free devices, as the research demonstrates that this is as dangerous as holding your phone. It is thought that the reason for this, is the split in our cognitive functioning when trying to drive and concentrate on a phone conversation. The argument is often put forward that this can be no different to having a conversation with a passenger in the car or listening to a radio programme and therefore no more dangerous. It would appear when experiments have been conducted that this is not generally the case. It is thought the reason for this is that passengers tend to tail their conversation off when they can see the driver having to concentrate more and we are more liable to tune out of a radio programme when we need to concentrate more on the road than when involved in a conversation on the phone. I hope this helps.
