We all have come across that ‘smartphone user’ on the red light because 
of whom everyone in the lane had to wait for another red light cycle – 
just because this particular person was busy texting or talking on the 
phone when the traffic light turned green.
According to the studies, 70% of drivers engage in a smartphone while 
driving, from sending emails to browsing social media accounts. A lot 
of these activities internet browsing, video calling, taking selfies and 
trying to be uber cool with the brand new smartphone.
These activities are extremely dangerous and ILLEGAL, reminding you 
that you can face fine or imprisonment, depending on the severity of 
the damage/violation you have caused while using a smartphone while 
driving. Let us highlight the important considerations for the drivers on 
the Australian roads.

In Australia, it is illegal to use a handheld smartphone while driving to 
talk, text, send e-mails, play games, take photos, record videos or use 
any other function on your smartphone.
STATE BY STATE INFORMATION ON USE OF SMARTPHONE WHILE 
DRIVING :
• Silence your phone while driving to avoid being distracted
• Do everything on your smartphone before you depart or after you 
reach
• Put your phone in a sleeve or a case
It is important to pay attention to the road and drive safely, rather 
than being entertained by a smartphone. Keep your smartphone 
distractions minimum and enjoy the roads as your drive. At Cheaper 
Car Rentals, we promote road safety and ensure that all the drivers 
are educated about the driving laws in Australia.
