fine for using phone while driving qld

Ah, Queensland, where the sunshine is bright and the fines for phone use behind the wheel are even brighter. If you're caught fiddling with your phone while driving, expect a hefty fine of around $1000 and a loss of 4 demerit points. The law is crystal clear: no texting, scrolling, or chatting without a proper hands-free setup.

Penalties aim to keep your eyes on the road and off your screen, because apparently, your Instagram feed can wait. For used or new car buyers, remember this rule—it’s a costly distraction that can wreck your wallet and your record.
