Like countless days of life, Uber's driver, Jayesh, was driving on a busy street.

"Ding!" A new order came, Jayesh immediately ordered Uber App, caught off guard, a police car stopped Jayesh,Jayesh for illegal use of mobile phone, was fined.
Including Jayesh, tens of thousands of Uber drivers across Australia are faced with this dilemma, frequently using mobile phones to pick up orders, interact, walk the process, but not sure if they are breaking the law, every time I see traffic police heartbeat speeded up.
Not only Uber driver, in the past not clear about this must also be you, me, he …
All along, what we know most is "how strict Australian traffic rules are".
Which one is strong? Is Australia
Australia's traffic police often spends a lot of money to build a variety of divine equipment, one kilometer away, the old driver's every move has been photographed in great detail.
They also like to play with all kinds of clothes, change into car cleaners, keep an eye on you when you don't know what to do,
And every now and then you double off (Double demerits), and play with your cell phone? I don't have a driver's license for a minute!
Recently, Australian media < The Age > said that Australia's National Transport Council (NTC) (NTC) is developing a stricter, explicit law that prohibits devices such as smartwatches from being used while driving. Touching a mobile phone or smartwatch while driving may be completely banned.
The old drivers could not help but exclaim that they were completely banned? What's that supposed to say?
Is there still a situation where you can use your cell phone?
It is true.
There are also loopholes in the strictest traffic regulations, so that it is not illegal to use a mobile phone.
According to the New South Wales Transportation Authority mobile phone law, drivers will be deducted five points from September 17, 2018, when they use mobile phones illegally. During the double deduction period, the penalty is doubled to 10 points.
If you are a pilot or P1 or P2 temporary driver's license holder, you are not allowed to use your mobile phone while driving or riding (including waiting for traffic lights and traffic jams). If you need to use your cell phone, you must leave the traffic and stop.
Drivers and P1 drivers and riders who use mobile phones illegally will be deducted by four points and will be suspended for three months if they exceed the penalty limit. Drivers and riders with a P-2 will have only three points left if they are punished for using a mobile phone illegally.
But! For drivers and motorcyclists with official driving licences, as well as for all cyclists:
Details of the new state transport bureau website:

That is, for the "old driver":
If the mobile phone is properly placed on the fixed bracket, you can make phone calls, listen to music, and navigate ~
It's no problem wearing Bluetooth headphones and using mobile phones.
If you want to hold the phone is not completely impossible to drive out of the traffic parking, then you want to talk about social app, selfie, video everything OK~
Dr Geoff Alla, an NTC official, said some of the rules had changed from 1999 to 1999, but distractions could still pose a danger, a loophole left at the time of regulation. So NTC does not rule out the introduction of a stricter mobile law!
Remind drivers again in the words of the new state transportation bureau, remember! Legal use of a mobile phone still distracts attention. Before using the phone, consider whether this is necessary and what the traffic requires of the driver's attention. Generally speaking, the safest option is to wait until you leave the traffic and stop before you use your cell phone.
In fact, caught by traffic police small, safety is the most important, watching mobile phone car accident is endless, but there is no repentance medicine for this matter.?
Please pay more attention to the local traffic regulations update, safe driving, safe and safe ~
