Paging @Drago and @CopperCyclist
I took delivery of a new smartwatch yesterday and whilst in my car this morning I wondered about the legality of using it on the road. I'm not talking about physically touching it but the voice activation side of it. Whilst both hands are on the steering wheel and watching the road I can say "OK Google", "send a text message to ...." and then dictate a message. Eyes will not have strayed from the road, hands would be on the steering wheel, all I would have done is spoken.
I'm assuming that it would be illegal hence why I didn't try it. But it would be a very hard thing to catch.
