<font face="Times New Roman">Many thanks Neil,<br>
The information on where to find the information is appreciated.<br>
Legislation can be a minefield if you ar not skilled in
interpreting the language.<br>
Despite that if you find yours self in a difficult situation an
overview can be of assistance rather<br>
than relying on hearsay from unknown sources.<br>
Appreciate the need for security on a site such as this, so no
drama. <br>
<br>
On another site we had a case were a subscriber had no proper ID <br>
and was promulgating inappropriate material, before he/she/it
could be banned he/she/it unsubscribed.<br>
that worked.<br>
<br>
Identifiable facts work every time, best way to go.<br>
Cheers,<br>
Amanda,<br>

picky is this National Road Transport regulations or state
based? Not clear in the information<br>
As Phil pointed out how many amateurs have actually been
pinged for holding a microphone.<br>
Now we have AI confusion a different ball game.<br>

have no idea who sent it, could be my system is not set up

<div>You can find this in the Road Transport (Road
Rules) Regulation 2017, specifically under Section
300, which defines the use of mobile phones while
driving. <br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In the ACT (and most Australian states),
the legal definition of a "mobile phone" specifically
excludes a CB radio or any other two-way radio.
Because they are not classified as mobile phones, the
strict "no-touch" and mounting laws for phones do not
apply to your radio microphone in the same way. <br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">However, Section 297 of the same
regulation requires you to have proper control of your
vehicle at all times. If using the microphone causes
you to swerve or drives distractedly, you can still be
fined for "not having proper control."<br>
