new driving rules nsw Page 5

Ah, the ever-evolving world of New South Wales driving rules—because apparently, memorising one set of rules isn't challenging enough. The latest updates include lower speed limits in some residential areas, stricter penalties for mobile phone use while driving, and increased demerit points for various offences. New speed limits can be as low as 40 km/h in school zones and certain local streets. Mobile phone fines now start at around $344 with demerit points added. Always keep an eye on official NSW Transport updates or check out ServiceCentral for the freshest info. Remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse—unless you enjoy hefty fines and court dates.
