Caught Using a Phone While Driving? Know Your Legal Options
Mobile phone and distracted driving offences are heavily enforced across Australia, with police using both patrols and camera technology to identify drivers using devices illegally. Fines and demerit points for these offences are some of the highest of any traffic infringements, and repeat offences can lead to licence suspension.
You may still be able to challenge a mobile phone offence if the device was not being operated, if the photo evidence is unclear, or if you were stopped in lawful circumstances. A lawyer can help you review the evidence, explain your rights, and represent you in court if required.
Law Tram connects you with traffic lawyers who understand how to challenge unfair mobile phone penalties and protect your driving record.
