Both Dawn and I use hands free equipment and think it is legal.

I understand the law governing the use of mobile phones whilst driving in Italy is the same as in the UK ie hands free is accepted. But even less drivers in Italy take any notice of this law than in the UK!

you'r on holiday..! switch the phone off.....

Business comes first. Thats what pays for the trips.

For a short period it was not legal, but now it is. Important is not holding telephone during conversation.
