I need to know....

Is it an offence if a cyclist uses their mobile phone to take a photo whilst stopped at traffic lights?

It is if you are in a car, so i cant see how this would be any different. Though im unsure what constitutes "pulling over to the side of the road" on a bike. If the bike was out of traffic on the side of the road then no idea

Cyclist was right next to cars at the lights. Definitely not "pulled over" to the side of the road.

Yes.

Regulation 300 of the Australian Road Rules states:

The driver of a vehicle must not use a mobile phone while the vehicle is moving, or is stationary but not parked, unless—

(a) the phone is being used to make or receive a phone call (other than a text message, video message, email or similar communication) and the body of the phone—

(i) is secured in a mounting affixed to the vehicle while being so used; or

(ii) is not secured in a mounting affixed to the vehicle and is not being held by the driver, and the use of the phone does not require the driver, at any time while using it, to press any thing on the body of the phone or to otherwise manipulate any part of the body of the phone; or

(ab) the phone is being used as a driver's aid and—

(i) the body of the phone is secured in a mounting affixed to the vehicle while being so used; and

(ii) the use of the phone does not require the driver, at any time while using it, to press any thing on the body of the phone or otherwise to manipulate any part of the body of the phone; or

(b) the vehicle is an emergency vehicle or a police vehicle; or

(c) the driver is exempt from this rule under another law of this jurisdiction.

A 'vehicle' is defined to include a bicycle. Whilst the Rules distinguish between ‘drivers’ and ‘riders’ (with bicyclists being ‘riders’), a reference to a "driver" includes a reference to a rider, and a reference to "driving" includes a reference to riding.

I recently bought a navman, how the hell does the friggin thing stick to the windscreen? It falls off repeatedly.

Tried that, it drops off when it gets hot.

I'd argue why anyone needs a GPS in Adelaide really anyway.

I like someone to chat with while I'm driving.

There is so many ways this thread can go now, I'm tipping that it's going to deteriorate into a pile of filth very swiftly.

"Turn left in 200m" from the floor of the car isn't enough?

Hopefully.

Na, last time I was looking down and talking to someone while I was driving I got arrested.

So you got someone else to spit on it?

Yeah, and gave it a polish.

Can an employer force you to work overtime?

Can an employer force you to work overtime?

As long as it's not unreasonable is my understanding
