* Legality Depends on the Context: There's no specific law against using sign language while driving. However, the legality depends on how it impacts your driving:
* Distracted Driving: If using sign language distracts you from the road and causes you to break traffic laws (speeding, not signaling, etc.), it's illegal.
* Safety: Any activity that hinders your ability to safely operate a vehicle is potentially illegal.
* Sign Language and Driving:
* Communication: Sign language can be useful for communicating with passengers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
* Potential Risk: Using complex signs while driving could be a distraction.
* Alternatives: For important communication, using written notes or voice commands (if safe) might be safer than complex hand gestures.
In short, if using sign language does not interfere with your safe driving, it is likely legal. However, prioritize safety and avoid anything that might distract you from the road.
