  1. Yes, as long as you aren't on a street

  2. No, it is hazardous

  3. Yes, checking your GPS is allowed

  4. Yes, as long as you are in a safe area

The correct answer is: No, it is hazardous

Texting while driving is illegal in most states and is considered a hazardous act. Even if you are not on a busy street or in a safe area, it is still illegal and dangerous to text while driving. Checking your GPS may be allowed, but it is also important to pull over or have a passenger check the GPS for you to avoid distractions while driving. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it states that texting while driving is hazardous.
