Take note: new road rules in Victoria
Kicked off on November 9VicRoads has introduced some changes to Victoria's road laws -- some sweeping and others a tweak of existing policy.
The new rules came into effect on November 9, and apply across a number of areas, including the use of mobile phones and visual display units, child restraints, U-turns and overtaking, seatbelts, wheeled recreational devices, driving with trams and parking.
Motorcyclists don't miss out, and the new rules are:
- No passengers under eight years old. A young child under eight years of age can't be carried as a passenger on a motorcycle, unless in a sidecar.
- Travelling in a sidecar. When a sidecar is used, it can only carry the number of passengers for which it is designed.
- No animals between rider and handlebars. Animals can't be carried between the rider and the handlebars of a motorcycle. There is an exemption for farmers. While working, a farmer can carry an animal between the rider and the handlebars of a motorcycle for up to 500m on a road.
