A distracted driving offence carries a $287 fine and three demerit points.
The offence can include the use of electronic devices, manually programming GPS devices or audio players, reading, writing and personal grooming.
Police say holding a cellphone while using its speaker phone function does not count as using a hands-free device. The phone must be activated by a single touch or be voice activated.
