Australian traffic regulations are already very strict for drivers, and making a small mistake may lead to high fines.
But drivers may also be fined hundreds of Australian dollars as a result of actions taken by passengers inside the car.
After reading it, you might want to think about carrying a sleepy passenger.
1. If you don't fasten your seat belt correctly, the driver will face a fine of $337, deducting three points.
2. Passengers are not allowed to tilt their seats while the car is on the way.
3. Drivers will face a $337 fine if they reach out the window or honk their horn, traffic planner Ben Macfarlane said. The car's horn can only be used to warn other drivers on the road.
4. Parking an unregistered vehicle on the side of the road could result in a fine of $673.
5. If you don't lock your car, it could lead to a $100 fine,
If a driver stands 3 metres away from an unattended vehicle and the unattended vehicle is neither locked nor key removed, it will face a fine of $112.
6. Drivers who fail to update their details in a timely manner will face a fine of $112.
7. Drivers who drive below the speed limit on the right side of the road face a fine of $337 and a 2-point deduction.
8. Drivers driving past puddles on rainy days and splashing passengers on public transport such as the roadside could face a fine of $187.
9. Drivers who watch videos while driving in the school area will face a penalty of 4 points, a fine of $337 or $448.
10. Eating while driving will face a penalty of 3 points and a fine of $448.
The cost of the violation is slightly higher, although Macfarlane said police generally do not charge drivers with such behaviour.
11. If the driver is wearing a flip-flops and is unable to control the car, the police will talk to you on the side of the road.
12. And when it comes to making way for emergency vehicles, the driver has no room for manoeuvre.
If drivers run into emergency vehicles, they can cross parking lines or red lights to make way for emergency vehicles, but they can't go on and cross the crossroads.
