 Here's the latest((This consolidation is current to January 12, 2021.)) [[https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/308_2009| document]] regarding distracted driving law in BC, which includes the use of ham radio.
+For us, the relevant section is:
+<WRAP indent>
+<<Section 9 (“hand microphone” is defined in section 3(2)):
+A person may use a hand microphone while driving or operating a motor vehicle on a highway if
+(a) the device is within easy reach of the driver’s seat, and
+(b) is securely fixed to the motor vehicle or worn securely on the person’s body in a manner that does not obstruct the person’s view of the front or sides of the motor vehicle or interfere with the safety or operating equipment of the motor vehicle.>>
+</WRAP>
 I keep a printed copy in the car in case I ever get pulled over for using my radio.
