New cameras use AI to detect both distracted drivers and those without seatbelts. The rules in Tas:
You must not use a hand-held mobile phone to make or
receive a call when you are driving or when the vehicle is
stationary, but not parked, UNLESS:
• the mobile phone is in a commercially designed
holder and fixed to the vehicle, and
• the mobile phone can be operated without
being touched.
You may use the navigational or GPS function and audio
functions of a phone while driving, provided the phone
is secured in a fixed mounting.
It is illegal to do any of the following when driving:
• hold a mobile phone in your hand or rest it on any part
of your body (whether or not you are on a phone call),
• type or enter anything into a mobile phone, or send or
look at anything that is in a mobile phone, and
• operate any other function of a mobile phone.
