'I honestly didn't know that was a thing': Driver fumes as she's handed a $337 fine for a VERY little-known offence - as fellow motorists share her outrage
A driver was fined $337 because her passenger was on her phone using facetime
Others shared her anger, but police and RMS confirmed it's a legitimate offence
Last month a NSW man was fined because his passenger was using a laptop.
A female driver is furious after receiving a hefty fine because her passenger was using FaceTime while she was driving.
Sheree, from Sydney, posted a photo of her $337 fine to social media, saying she had no idea she was breaking the law.
'Tell your passengers to stay off their phones while you are driving, I got fined because my passenger was on FaceTime,' she wrote.
'Honestly didn’t know that was a thing.'
The offence on the fine was listed as 'Drive vehicle with TV/VDU image likely to distract'.
Her post has been shared more than 10,000 times, and other drivers echoed her anger, arguing the little-known offence should be publicised more.
'What a joke. They haven’t advertised this much. As if we need something else to control while we’re driving,' one woman wrote.
'Ok this is ridiculous. I get drivers being off their phones etc but this is pathetic,' wrote another.
'Tell me you’re going to fight this?!?! That’s ridiculous,' another woman wrote.
But it turns out that the bizarre offence is actually a law in New South Wales.
Not that I would complain...
But seriously, charging a driver for something a passenger does is a bit over the top, but to be expected
of our grubberment...just to raise more revenue for state governments which are all sorry arsed broke....
