AutoExec Summary
A new report from the International Drivers Association highlights the legal risks of vaping while driving in Australia. Motoring expert Michael Bisson warns that vaping can obscure vision and lead to loss of vehicle control, potentially resulting in fines and demerit points across states. In New South Wales, for example, drivers can face fines of up to $603 for losing control or a clear view due to vaping, especially in school zones. Additionally, it is illegal to vape in cars with children under certain ages, carrying significant penalties. Bisson emphasizes the importance of prioritizing road safety over vaping.
