wa fine for using phone while driving

In Western Australia, fiddling with your phone while driving is about as welcome as a kangaroo in your lounge room. The fine typically starts at AUD 400 with 3 demerit points slapped on your licence. This applies to using your phone for calls, texting, or any other distractions—unless it's hands-free or mounted securely. Repeat offenders might find their wallets and patience equally drained.
