Officially implemented on July 1st! Bike call on the spot fine $476! Even if the bicycle is still, still penalty!
From this Saturday, the state of Victoria new traffic rules officially came to power. Cyclists will be fined $476 on their cell phone while riding, whether you are texting, calling, or navigating.
Even if the bicycle is in a still state, it will be fined as long as the rider is on the bicycle and the hand holds the cell phone.
Unless the phone is mounted on a bicycle head as a navigator, not in the hand, or the finger is touching the phone screen.
To avoid unnecessary fines, however, use your mobile phone and park your bike on the sidewalk and take it out.
After all, big things, no life is important!

You shouldn't have differential treatment when the car and bike were driving across the road.
Using a mobile phone while riding a bike and a mobile phone by a car driver are particularly dangerous, and even more dangerous for cyclists.
After all, car protection for drivers is a little more secure than riders' helmets.
This new traffic rule gives the police the right to punish directly and issue a penalty ticket on the spot. The old law required the police to bring the riders to court first.
而对于警察来说，要把违规的骑行者带到法庭是一件非常困难的事情。
The new rules make it easier for the police to exercise their power to punish, and do not provide riders with evading fines. Regardless of the amount of the new penalty, the penalty is for the safety of riders, car drivers, and pedestrians.
Among the endless flow of cars, bicycles are the thinnest and most dangerous.
有数据显示，在2004年到2013年10年间，维州共有80名骑者在骑行自行车时使用手机导致交通事故而死亡。
The editor suggests, whether driving or riding a bicycle, even pedestrians on the road, should not use mobile phones, always be vigilant. After all, disaster comes without warning, all we can do is respect our own life, but also respect the lives of others and every family.
