phone use while driving Page 2

Using your phone while driving in Australia is not just a bad idea; it’s illegal and downright dangerous. Hands-free devices are the only exception, but even then, distraction can be deadly. Expect hefty fines, demerit points, and the potential for causing accidents if you’re caught texting, calling, or scrolling while behind the wheel. The law is crystal clear: your phone stays in your pocket or mounted and operated hands-free. So, save your social media drama for when you’ve parked—your life and your wallet will thank you.
