Drivers of vehicles are prohibited from using mobile phones while they are moving on public roads; these may be used only if they are equipped with “hands-free” devices.

Therefore, in the absence of the “hands-free” device, to use the mobile phone it is necessary to stop the motor vehicle. Stopping on the waiting lane (the correct name being emergency lane) of the motorway is prohibited (exceptions are justified emergency cases). Thus you must stop in the parking lot in the area of the service complex that follows in order to be able to use the mobile phone in compliance with the rules.

The correct answer is: B
