Ridiculous, and probably unenforceable.... yet.

Define "use". Technically if a driver connected a play list on their phone, before starting a journey, then listened to said play list while driving, that could be construed as usage.

In Victoria a P plater can stream music or use navigation bluetoothed to the car IF the phone is in a commercially designed and manufactured holder, and the play/navigation is setup before the journey is started.
The P plater cannot touch the phone whilst the car is not parked It is recommended that the P plater does not look at the phone, but uses voice directions.

If the phone is in your bag in the boot, then that's illegal.

The newish Victorian distracted driver rules are quite interesting, in that you cannot scroll though menus on phones or inbuilt devices, even fully licensed drivers.
This would make driving most modern cars interesting, I joke with a friend that he is not allowed to turn on the wipers in his Tesla while driving.

By that mentality you couldn't even touch the stereo or AC controls.

You cant chat on a phone, but you can chat on a UHF radio. I'm not going to press that one though!

Simon, it's a legal requirement for the driver and pilot of an oversized load, to have electronic communication. That pretty much mandates both drivers use the UHF.

Yeah, that highlights the irony even more!
