If you're caught using a mobile phone while driving in New South Wales, expect to cough up a fine of around $344 and receive 5 demerit points. This includes holding the phone to make calls, send texts, or use apps without a hands-free system. The law is as strict as a drill sergeant, aiming to keep your eyes on the road, not your screen.
Repeat offenders and commercial drivers face even harsher penalties. For those curious about the nuances or looking to check out more details, ServiceCentral and CarShowroom often have the latest updates. So, unless you want your wallet and licence to suffer, keep that phone in your pocket or use a proper hands-free setup.
