As of 2015, it is illegal to text while driving in Oklahoma.
Commercial drivers and public transit drivers are prohibited from making hand-held phone calls while driving.
Big trucks and buses carry heavy loads or many riders, so one distracted moment can hurt many people.

On the test
What does the manual advise before making a phone call from your car?
Pull off the road first. A call while parked takes nothing from your driving, while a call on the move splits your attention. Oklahoma Driver Manual, p.61: “Whenever possible, pull off the road before calling from your car.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
