SAFETY CAMERAS

Sure, they can feel a little Big Brother, but safety cameras help keep us all accountable on the road.

While some cameras only target speed, the latest safety cameras also target seatbelt and phone offences. These cameras can pop up anywhere, any time.

TL;DR

  • Watch your speed
  • Put your screen away for the drive
  • Buckle up, every time: Back seat too!

What safety cameras capture

Safety cameras are on the lookout for multiple offences. These cameras can pick up if you’re:

  • Using, holding or touching your phone while driving  
  • Not wearing your seatbelt, or wearing it incorrectly
  • Speeding.

Luckily there’s a really easy way to avoid getting an infringement notice in the mail. That is: stay safe behind the wheel. Wear your seatbelt, put your screen away for the drive, and watch your speed. No sweat.


Let's be real. Do we really need these cameras?

Yep, because getting up to no good behind the wheel is… seriously no good. 

Inattention is a contributing factor in 18% of crashes that end in fatalities. Meanwhile, speed is a contributing factor in 32% of deadly crashes.

Oh, and unrestrained drivers and passengers are eight times more likely to die in a crash. So buckle up babes.

What not to do

You wouldn’t believe the truly wild things drivers have been caught doing behind the wheel. Things like eating cereal, watching a show on a tablet, holding their dog, using a laptop and drinking beer. Tip: Don’t be like these people.

Busting the myths: safety cameras aren’t about raising revenue

In WA, all safety camera fines go straight to the Road Trauma Trust Account. This supports road safety programs as well as helping crash victims and their families.
