⚠️Warning, animals ahead! 🐑🦘🐪‼️

👀 While it can be exciting to see animals while driving on country roads, it’s important to remember that they can be dangerous and cause serious crashes.

Always slow down if you notice animal warning signs while driving. 🚗

Canberrans are being urged to understand what they can and can’t do with their mobile devices while driving.

Since the introduction of mobile device detection cameras across Canberra in February last year, more than 56,000 drivers have been detected using mobile devices while driving.

Following the addition of the final fixed camera on Gungahlin Drive in November last year, the three transportable cameras and two fixed cameras have detected an average of 225 drivers using their mobile devices daily.

The warning period is about to come to an end. With infringements and demerit points for offences detected by mobile device detection cameras beginning in February, now is the time to ensure you fully understand the ACT’s mobile device road rules:

✔️ Before starting a drive, the driver should ensure their device is in a safe spot to avoid any distractions. If you need your device for navigation or audio purposes, you can place your phone in a secured mounting attached to the car such as a mobile phone holder and/or connect your device to the car via Bluetooth.

✔️ Set up your GPS instructions and music playlists before driving because you cannot touch your device to skip or change songs or change the navigation settings while driving.

✔️ Provided the mobile device is securely stored in a mounting attached to the car, a fully licensed driver can touch the device to make or receive audio calls. If the device is connected via Bluetooth, they can also use the steering wheel controls, voice command, or in-car display screens to make or receive audio calls.

❌ While a vehicle is moving, or stationary such as being stopped at traffic lights, the driver cannot hold a mobile device or operate any function of the device, including for video calling, texting, emailing, social media or photography.

❌ Drivers cannot have a mobile device resting on, or kept in place by, any part of their body such as their lap or leg, tucked between their leg and the seat, or between their shoulder and ear.

Hi students!
Tiredness driving is a serious issue that can lead to accidents on the road. When you are not well-rested, your reaction time and decision-making abilities are impaired, increasing the likelihood of making mistakes while driving. It is important to make sure you are well-rested before getting behind the wheel, and to take breaks when needed during long drives to avoid fatigue. Remember, it is better to arrive at your destination safely than to risk your life and the lives of others by driving while tired. Stay safe on the roads!
