A ruling by the Supreme Court could have ramifications on the laws on how we use mobile phones while driving.
A woman in canton Solothurn was fined CHF 250 for using her phone while driving.
But she argued in front of the federal judges she only glanced at her phone for a couple of seconds and it had no impact on her driving ability.
The court agreed. It determined that a quick glance is no more distracting than looking in the rear-view mirror or the dashboard.
The court also said it is allowed to drive with only one had on the wheel - mentioning it is legal to eat an apple or smoke a cigarette while driving.
But the court did stress it remains illegal to make a phone call while driving, unless using a hands free system.
