Margin Driving School Hobart

Can I eat or drink while driving? Yes, but...

It is not illegal to eat or drink while driving in Tasmania. However, if eating distracts you and affects your control of the vehicle, you could be penalized $213 and lose 3 demerit points for careless driving. Best to be wise about WHAT you’re eating and drinking, or take a snack break 😁

Signalling L off roundabouts cancels any R indicator (for those entering turning R) which is very helpful in not confusing everyone😀

New cameras use AI to detect both distracted drivers and those without seatbelts. The rules in Tas:

You must not use a hand-held mobile phone to make or
receive a call when you are driving or when the vehicle is
stationary, but not parked, UNLESS:

• the mobile phone is in a commercially designed
holder and fixed to the vehicle, and
• the mobile phone can be operated without
being touched.
You may use the navigational or GPS function and audio
functions of a phone while driving, provided the phone
is secured in a fixed mounting.

It is illegal to do any of the following when driving:
• hold a mobile phone in your hand or rest it on any part
of your body (whether or not you are on a phone call),
• type or enter anything into a mobile phone, or send or
look at anything that is in a mobile phone, and
• operate any other function of a mobile phone.

Well done Sadie!!! Great job getting your P’s today 🥇🏆🥳👏
