Clarify allowed. Is it actually illegal in the EU to turn on the radio or air conditioning while driving unless the buttons allow you to do it from the steering wheel?

Is it actually illegal in the EU

What's allowed differs per country.

It differs from country to country, but where I live you can technically be fined for it. You will also fail your drivers test if you do it.

Where I live changing the AC is a task they can ask you while on the test.

If you do it dangerously such as swerving or taking your eyes off the road for extended periods then you can fail the test.

Is "you're the passenger, you do it, please," an acceptable response?

What country is that?

I'm more concerned about fog lights, emergency lights, and Window heating, as law usually requires you to be able to use them if conditions require it.
