In Victoria, the headline is simple: don’t touch your phone while driving.
Fully licensed drivers may use hands‑free or a phone secured in a proper cradle for calls, audio and navigation, but no texting, scrolling or video, and absolutely no handheld use—even at the lights.
L and P plate drivers and riders aren’t allowed to use a phone at all—no hands‑free, no Bluetooth, no “just a quick glance at Maps”.
If you need to fiddle with anything more than the volume knob, pull over and park; being stopped in traffic doesn’t count as parked.
Expect hefty fines and demerit points, with camera enforcement quietly catching the multitaskers.
Fit a proper mount, enable Do Not Disturb, and keep your licence happier than a tradie at Friday smoko; check VicRoads for the latest wording.
