Touching/holding includes resting on any part of the driver’s body (e,g lap).  It does not include held in a pocket of the driver’s clothing or in a pouch worn by the driver. Driving includes being stationary with the motor running (e.g. waiting at stoplights, stopping roadside). Whilst driving, you can only touch a mobile phone to receive and terminate a phone call if the phone is secured in a mounting affixed to the vehicle. If the phone is not secured in a mounting, it can only be used to receive or terminate a phone call without touching it (e.g. using voice activation, a Bluetooth hands-free car kit, earpiece or headset). Whilst driving, it is illegal to create, send or look at a text message, video message, email or similar communication, even when the phone is secured in a mounting or can be operated without touching it. GPS may be used by a driver whilst driving if it is secured in a mounting and no touch of the keypad or screen is required. The vehicle must be legally parked, with the motor turned off, before a driver can legally hold a mobile phone.

Travelling straight ahead OR turning left in a slip lane – failing to give way to vehicles to the right or pedestrians = 3 demerit points and $200 fine.

Motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians have a joint responsibility to share the road respectfully and safely.

Not wearing a helmet = $50 fineFailure to have at least one effective brake and working warning device (e.g. bell) = $100 fine Failure to have correct lighting for visibility = $100 fineRiding less than 2m behind a vehicle = $100 finePassing on the left of a vehicle that is turning left = $100 fine

Motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians have a joint responsibility to share the road respectfully and safely and obey the road rules.  Cyclists are vulnerable road users, so for their safety extra precautions and awareness are required from all road users alike.

It is illegal to exceed the speed limit when overtaking = penalty varies. Failing to overtake a cyclist allowing a passing distance of 1 metre (up to 60km/h) 1.5 metres (over 60km/h) = 4 demerit points and $400 fine.

When entering a roundabout, always give way to any vehicles already in the roundabout. On multi-lane roundabouts, obey the directional arrows on the road.

As well as emergency vehicles, this law includes tow trucks, RAC roadside assistance patrol vehicles, and Main Roads incident response vehicles.  It applies to all roads in WA, including freeways and highways.

Motorists failing to overtake a cyclist allowing a passing distance of 1 metre (up to 60km/h) 1.5 metres (over 60km/h) = 4 demerit points and $400 fine    Entering a green bicycle box (at some intersections) = 2 demerit points and $200 fine.

Pedestrian crossings are marked by white or yellow stripes on the road and are usually marked by a sign. Drivers should approach a pedestrian crossing at a speed that makes it easy to stop safely if needed.

Exceptions: – If you are overtaking a cyclist, or you need to avoid an obstruction, you may cross the continuous centre line(s) or edge line providing you have a clear view of any approaching traffic, and it is safe to do so.

We thought we would get the Eureka Truck Training blog started with a few simple road rules that everyone should know and follow, these rules are here to make traffic flow and the more importantly, keep the roads safe.

Are used to separate lanes travelling in different directions. If the centre/dividing lines are continuous, do not cross that line unless you are turning right (i.e. to leaving or entering the road) or making a U-turn. The same applies if there is a continuous line on the left of a broken or dotted centre line.

TIP: Riding two abreast makes people on bikes more visible.  If you’re a cyclist who likes riding in a group, you shouldn’t ride any more than two abreast.  When the road narrows, do the courteous thing and move into a single file.  It keeps everyone safe and allows drivers to pass you safely.

You don’t need to indicate an approach.  Enter in either the left or right lane, stay in and exit from the same lane. If practicable, indicate left when you’ve passed the last exit before the one you intend to use.

When giving way to an emergency vehicle DO NOT break the law (e.g. driving through a red light or speed). Attending roadside incidents can be risky business for workers attending roadside incidents.   Flashing lights on a stationary vehicle mean approaching vehicles must slow down, move over (if possible) and pass at 40 kilometres per hour. In doing so, drivers should apply their brakes gradually and safely.

On single-lane roads, you must drive as far to the left as practical (except motorcyclists). On multi-lane roads, if the speed limit is 90km/h or more you must drive in the left lane. This same rule applies to any road where there is a ‘keep left unless overtaking sign. On these roads, you can only drive in the right-hand lane if:

If an emergency vehicle has blue or red flashing lights and/or sounding an alarm, you MUST clear the way to let it easily pass.

Are used to mark the edge of the road. You can only cross over an edge line when entering or leaving the road or; passing a vehicle on the left that is turning right or making a U-turn.

On approach, indicate right from the right lane.  Stay in the right lane and exit the roundabout from this lane. If practicable, indicate left when you’ve passed the last exit before the one you intend to use.

If you’re a motorist, only pass a cyclist when you have a clear view of the road ahead and if there’s enough space for you to pass.  You may legally cross continuous white lines to safely pass a cyclist. Remember to indicate.                                                                                                                                    Passing laws:

Using, touching or holding a mobile phone whilst driving = 3 demerit points and a $400 fine. Creating, sending or looking at a text message, video message, email or similar communication, whilst driving = 3 demerit points and a $400 fine.

Motorists should only overtake a cyclist when there is a clear view of the road ahead and if there’s enough space for you to pass.   You may legally cross continuous white lines to safely pass a cyclist. Remember to indicate.                                                                                                                                                   Remember: When travelling on roads with a speed limit up to 60km/h, allow 1 metre between your vehicle and the cyclist to pass safely; When travelling on roads with a speed limit over 60km/h, allow 1.5 metres to pass a cyclist.

If you’re a motorist entering a roundabout, be aware of cyclists. While in the roundabout, don’t try to squeeze past or overtake them.

Overtaking can be dangerous. When overtaking, make sure you have a clear view of oncoming traffic and use your indicator to signal your intentions to other drivers.

Fog lights can be used in foggy conditions, dust storms or heavy rain. But do not drive with both headlights and fog lights on at the same time.

Are used to define multiple lanes travelling in the same direction. If the lane line is continuous, don’t cross the line to change lanes.

MOON-RIGELLITEmanual

NB: On dual/multi-lane roads where the speed limit is under 90km/h, the ‘keep left’ rule only applies where there is a ‘keep left unless overtaking sign.

Pedestrians are vulnerable road users, so extra care is needed from all road users (including pedestrians themselves) to keep them safe.

It is important to increase your following distance if the weather or road conditions are poor if you’re driving a heavy vehicle or towing a trailer.

A safe following distance depends on your speed, driving conditions and the type of vehicle you are driving. In good conditions, you should drive at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.

As a rule, at an uncontrolled intersection, always give way to the right, to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.  Specifically:

A calming presence that casts a beautifully diffused light which can be a soft glow or a brighter gleam depending on how you adjust your dimmer. This pendant is perfect for any room where you see the light a lot from underneath, like you do in a bedroom. The shade is entirely handmade by a small, traditional workshop in Rome using a fine ivory wool for the exterior of the shade and a cotton poplin for the interior lining. The solid brass neoclassical rosette is hand-painted and waxed, and bears our signature green as does the twisted silk flex. Each light is assembled and certified by our maker in England. For a smaller version please see our Mini Globe.

This law ensures the safety of all emergency service vehicles and first response personnel who need to attend roadside incidents.

Pedestrians crossing traffic lights must obey the signals. If a traffic control signal shows a steady or flashing red pedestrian light, and you have not already started to cross, then you must not do so until the pedestrian light changes to green. If the red pedestrian light starts to flash once you’ve stepped off the kerb onto the road, continue to cross.

Please note that the woven flex (or cord) pictured above is available for both EU 240V and US 120V wiring. Contact us for any further questions.

To determine the two seconds – watch the vehicle in front as it passes a landmark, such as a tree, sign, power pole or overpass. As it passes the landmark, start counting ‘one thousand and one, one thousand and two’ (this takes about two seconds). If you pass the same landmark before you finish counting to two seconds, you’re too close.
