The increasing popularity of mobile telephones prompts the question: are they a danger when used while driving? To date, Germany has no law regulating such use. An international enquiry showed that four European and three non-European countries punish the use of mobile phones by drivers. Analysis of scientific studies on the hazard potential of such devices when used in vehicles unequivocally shows a marked impairment of driving performance. Although this cannot be applied to any particular individual, there is indeed a general potential road traffic hazard. There is thus an urgent need to make users aware of the dangers and for legislature to demand the use of no-hand phones in vehicles. A specific punishment by law (inhibition of mobile phones) must be critically discussed.
移动电话越来越普及，这引发了一个问题：开车时使用手机是否危险？到目前为止，德国没有法律对此类使用行为进行规范。一项国际调查显示，四个欧洲国家和三个非欧洲国家对司机使用手机的行为进行处罚。对关于此类设备在车辆中使用时潜在危害的科学研究分析明确表明，驾驶性能会受到显著损害。虽然这不适用于任何特定个体，但确实存在普遍的道路交通安全隐患。因此，迫切需要让用户意识到危险，并让立法机构要求在车辆中使用免提手机。必须对通过法律进行具体处罚（禁用手机）进行批判性讨论。
