According to road safety data, about 25 percent drivers in NSW use a mobile phone whilst driving on road and more than 40,000 fined for such act last year. There is a nationwide worry regarding the use of mobile phones behind the wheel by younger drivers. To enhance road safety and encourage drivers not to use a phone while driving Australian and NSW government has not only set a hefty fine but also, advancing the camera technology to track illegal mobile phone use on roads. Recently, the government has tested new high-tech cameras on NSW roads that caught more than 11,000 drivers using a phone while driving in the month of October. [ads2]

Now, the government in NSW has introduced a radar-based sensor camera on its roads to detect drivers who use a mobile phone while driving. The camera would record vehicle details with photos of drivers who use mobile. Initially, the cameras are going to install in M4 and Anzac Parade, also use one as a mobile form. For the trial time, drivers will not be charged fine but warned through a letter, once this rolled over driver would be fined a hefty amount and demerit points.
