Bracketron is committed to promoting safe driving practices and supporting legislation that limits the use of in-vehicle electronics to ensure driver safety. To that end, Bracketron has developed a line of products that provide a safe and convenient way for drivers to mount their devices, allowing them to keep their focus on the road.
In all Australian states and territories, it is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving, even if the phone is resting on the driver’s lap. This includes activities such as talking, texting, playing games, taking photos or videos, and using any other function on the phone.
Using a hand-held mobile phone is also illegal when the vehicle is stationary but not parked, such as when stopped in traffic or at traffic lights.
Additionally, drivers are required to have their mobile phones completely hands-free or mounted in a dock, mount, or cradle affixed to their vehicle if they want to talk on the phone while driving. Learner, P1, and P2 drivers may not be permitted to use a hand-held or hands-free mobile phone while driving.
The specific laws regarding the use of mobile phones and technology while driving vary across Australian states and territories, so it is recommended that drivers check the relevant laws and how they apply to their situation.
