Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No, except for changing gears and operating the direction indicator, or in order to assure the vehicle's proper function.
While driving, both hands should stay on the wheel or handlebar so you keep full control of the vehicle. Taking one hand off is allowed only for tasks that are part of driving: changing gears, operating the direction indicator, or ensuring the vehicle works properly. Tuning the radio, using the lighter or holding a phone are not driving tasks, so they are not valid reasons.
