vic road new rules

Ah, the ever-shifting sands of Victorian road rules—because drivers need new headaches every year. As of the latest update, key changes include stricter penalties for mobile phone use while driving, lower speed limits in some suburban areas, and new regulations around e-scooters and shared pathways. Fines have increased and demerit points piled on to keep everyone alert and, dare I say, terrified. The aim is to improve safety, but expect the usual grumbles from anyone who thought a hands-free call was a human right.
