What is illegal to do while driving?

Driving on a bet or wager is illegal because it can lead to reckless behavior and distractions that compromise both the driver's safety and the safety of others on the road. Engaging in such activities implies that the driver is more focused on winning a bet than on safely operating the vehicle, which can significantly increase the risk of accidents. This regulation is in place to discourage any actions that could divert attention away from the task of driving, ensuring that all drivers are fully committed to navigating the road responsibly.

In contrast, while using a cell phone is often restricted for junior operators, it may not be entirely illegal under certain conditions, such as using hands-free technology. Playing music at a loud volume is generally permissible unless it constitutes a distraction or disrupts the ability to hear important sounds from the environment. Eating while driving is not illegal, though it can be a distraction and is discouraged for safety reasons.
