I don't understand. How is calling 911 while driving illegal? Hands free and speaker phones exist.

The article says quite clearly the pit maneuver was due to the frequent vehicle and pedestrian traffic near the hospital. They where endangering others. Potentially many others.

It was at night, and there wasn't a single other car in the video snipped they showed, that I could see at least.
