Do you know Australia's weird and lesser-known road rules? Drivers across the country have periodically been caught out for unusual requirements while behind the wheel that result in fines worth hundreds of dollars each, with some even costing millions within years.

You can now use your smartphone as ID in NSW. Here's how NSW citizens are now finally able to have their driver's licence on their phones, almost five years after it was first proposed.

From 26 September, motorists will no longer need to slow down to 40km/h on roads with speed limits of 90km/h or more when passing stationary emergency vehicles with flashing lights. Drivers will need to slow down safely and move over to give them as much space as possible. In speed zones of 80km/h or less, motorists will still need to slow down to 40km/h.

The rule will also be expanded to include stationary tow trucks and breakdown assistance vehicles displaying yellow flashing lights.
