Hindi term or phrase: "Keep hands free while driving."
Caution about not using mobile phone while driving. Here translation is not expected but the construction of sentence while translating since a big mobile company was expecting a different translation while translating the abovesaid sentence.

You can use वाहन चलाने के लिए हाथों को खाली रखें but I am still of the view that the sentence वाहन चलाते समय हाथों को खाली रखें conveys the meaning much better.
