AutoExec Summary
South Australia has activated new cameras to detect drivers using their mobile phones, with an initial warning period before fines are enforced. During testing, over 71,000 incidents were detected, prompting the introduction of the cameras in high-risk areas. Offenders will face a $658 fine and three demerit points after the educational period. The cameras use AI and images are reviewed by trained adjudicators. Revenue from fines will go to the Community Road Safety Fund. Other states in Australia also use mobile phone detection cameras.
