Device Rules for New and Young Drivers 

If you’re a learner, P1, or P2 driver, strict rules apply to using devices while driving. Breaking these rules can result in fines. 

General Rules

🚫 Use voice controls 
🚫 Enter text, scroll, or view messages, social media, or emails

🔹 You must not touch or use these devices, even if they’re turned off 
🔹 No looking at a screen being used by someone else in the car 
🔹 No ongoing activity (e.g., music or navigation) unless set up before driving 
🔹 Devices must be in a pocket or secured pouch, not on your lap 

Mounted & In-Built Vehicle Systems 

✅ You can use a properly mounted device for navigation or playing audio, but only if set up before you start driving
