No it’s absolutely fine. I have an iPhone with a basic Bluetooth connection to the car. I have a stalk for audio control and I use Siri to tell it to do stuff. The audio is entirely hands free. You just get in the car and it works. You don’t need to touch or handle it for navigation either.

iOS also switches into driving focus mode which turns all the other distractions off: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208090

The legislation is perfectly good.

Using Siri is more dangerous than texting. The below linked research (and others) found that using Siri raises the reaction time 36%. That is 1% worse than texting! For comparison, driving at the drink-drive limit (UK) is 12%. So you are doing yourself a big disservice by using Siri and thinking you are safe(r).

I don’t use it when I’m actually driving. Before to set the destination.

If you're not actively driving, you might as well just hold the device in your hand?

“Hey siri navigate home”

Pretty simple.

Yes, as long as it works for your very specific personal preference!
