Ah, mobile phone laws in Australia—a veritable minefield for anyone who fancies a cheeky text or a quick Insta scroll behind the wheel. The key takeaway: using a handheld phone while driving is illegal nationwide. That means no calls, texting, browsing, or even holding your device. Hands-free setups are your best mates here, but don’t even think about fiddling with it while driving.
Breaking these laws can land you fines ranging from $200 to $500 and demerit points on your licence. The rules are pretty consistent across states, but always check local variations—ServiceCentral is a handy spot for the latest updates.
