Cameras Save Lives

Mobile phone and seatbelt detection cameras have been on Victorian roads since 1 April 2023. 

During April they captured 2,993 offences:

• 1,606 drivers and 225 passengers not wearing seatbelts
• 1,162 drivers using their mobile devices.

These drivers received an advisory letter about the offence as there is a warning period until 30 June 2023. However, from 1 July, drivers will face the following penalties:

• $577 fine if caught using a mobile phone while driving and 4 demerit points
• $385 fine for not wearing a seatbelt correctly and 3 demerit points.
