Victoria's new phone laws are as strict as a headmaster with a ruler. Expect hefty fines and demerit points if you're caught fiddling with your mobile behind the wheel. The laws ban any handheld use, including calls, texting, and even scrolling through your playlist. Fines can exceed $500 with four demerit points slapped on your licence, turning your daily commute into a nerve-wracking affair. For the tech-savvy, Bluetooth and voice commands remain your best mates. Always check the latest updates on ServiceCentral or Victoria Police's site because, let's face it, these laws change faster than your phone's battery drains.
