    Mobile phone cameras are continuing to be rolled out in Australia

    Mobile phone cameras are continuing to be rolled out in Australia


    Sydney is the latest city to have the cameras.

    Authorities say even the sneakiest of peeks at a device won't go unnoticed by the cameras.

    The three month "warning" period caught out more than 30-thousand drivers on their phones behind the wheel... but from today anyone caught TOUCHING their phone while driving will cop five demerit points and a $344 fine.
