Whether you like it or not a police officer is allowed to do whatever it takes for them to perform their duty on the road. That includes using a phone while driving.
And the officers don't know the laws either. Probably shouldn't do a show like this without checking the law Vic police. Because electric scooters can be used by disabled people if they are speed limited. And no they don't require a helmet. That would be for a bike not for a mobility device.
I spend most of my working day on the road, and I can promise you pigs are always on their phones while driving. And pigs certainly can not 'do anything it takes' to get their job done. Unless their emergency lights are on and can justify why, cops must obey the road laws.
@@slushyplane Hi. Yes it is. For road works is 40kph. Due to some injuries and a death, SA changed from 40 kph to 25kph. In SA we have plenty of Dickheads on the road.

Fun fact, in a lot of the touristy areas of WA (local and regional) there are state government signs posted stating this in several languages. This rule in WA only applies to freeways and highway’s where the speed exceeds 90 and unfortunately is the reason for the heavy congestion on our freeways.

Depends on the state as not all these rules are Australia wide... In QLD you can ride electric scooters on footpaths, you can drive barefoot provided it is not a motorcycle or over 4.5GVM or designed to carry more than 12 people, P1 driver has no limit on non relatives under 21 outside the hours of 11pm to 5am. Perhaps consider fixing the title to 12 Victorian Road Rules...
Having to give cyclists 1.5m distance🤔… how about cyclists can only ride 2 abreast on roads limited to 40km/h, only 1 abreast on roads between 40-60km/h, all cyclists must single file use the shoulder on roads above 60km/h (no shoulder-no riding). Roads are built for motorists, designed for motorists and paid for… by motorists!! The focus of cyclist safety whilst important, is second to the priority of motorists utilising these roads and without the safety risk these cyclists put themselves in!!
Should have said ‘why do cameras get placed on perfectly straight roads that are marked too slow but never in streets where kids play and horns go like they are racing someone’ If cameras are for road safety, why are people dying on roads increasing?
Congestion and population will increase the road toll. But the road toll is going up slower than population should make it. But yes, many cameras are in silly places and instead of targeting everyone, instead make the penalties for those that cause issues harsher. I guarantee I can use a phone while driving and still be better and safer than half the road users I see. It's ridiculous that using a phone is a bigger penalty than being an actual dangerous bad driver.

Taking my driving lessons in the 70's, back in the UK, driving in bare feet wasn't only allowed, it was recommended by many instructors, being preferable to high heels, and the platform shoes popular at the time. There is more "feel" from the pedals. Why on Earth do Aussie Police enforce this rule?

Yeah, it's some old myth. There's no rule against any footwear you want to wear but certain ones are definitely discouraged for safety reasons. The law is that you must be able to safely control the car. Not conform to dress codes.
@geoffroberts1126 yeah, there's no rules on how you must be dressed. I don't even think what the cop said about heavy vehicles is accurate, but might be in Vic. I've been driving trucks for 15 years and never heard I need footwear on including in Victoria so might be some obscure rule now. Barefoot is discouraged because after an accident you're at a high risk of further injury. I feel this myth might be because driving schools would probably say you aren't allowed to in their cars. Things like high heels aren't good because they can get stuck on pedals etc.

in the 1970,s the victorian road toll was right up near 400 for one year.so with the enormous increase in traffic from then till now,the road toll is lower than its ever been
I agree with other comment. I remember when in Vic the annual road death toll was 1034 in 1969. In 1970, 1065 people died on roads in Victoria. Across Australia the highest number of people killed on our roads was 3,798 in 1970.
Victoria's stance on push bikes and e-scooters on footpaths is out of date and dangerous .50kg of 14yo child on a 10kg bike or e-scooter? The state says the child is safer mingling with B-Doubles on a roadway than using the footpath. It's all good though, the child will be protected with a line of paint in some places. If something goes wrong, the child's helmet will protect them from being crushed by 60 tonnes of truck.
@@JasondenHollander-qj5hp "Scooters flying past" pedestrians on footpaths is an infrastructure problem. Australia's transport infrastructure problems are the result of lack spineless politicians. The leading cause of child death in Australia is cars and motorists. Motorists are found partially or wholly at fault in over 80% of collisions with pedestrians, but that doesn't matter here because the majority of kids killed in car crashes were a passenger in a car. Drivers of cars and trucks kill 1000+ people annually in Australia, seriously injure 5000+, cause over 50% of all annual TBI's, and cause an unknown number of minor injuries. Literally an unknown number because our govts care so little that we don't keep proper statistics at a national level. 10000+ Australians die annually from respiratory and other medical conditions caused by vehicle pollution. Families in Australia's outer suburbs are forced to spend 25%+ of their annual household income on car ownership. The mental health of Australian children is the 3rd worst of all OECD countries, with most Australian kids unable to independently venture outside thanks to the dangers created by cars. The solution to all of these problems is to stop prioritising cars, speed, and motorist convenience above all else in our cities... right? Nah lets ban e-scooters and crack down on cyclists for existing.
I came here for the road rules so I got 9/10 as the last Q. was not important due to an 80's Swans player wearing very tight shorts, as I was a teen back then I decided that this code of footy was 'Fairy Football'. I'm in my 50's now & that has stuck with me all my life. Men jumping so high in the air like Fairies to get the ball. Please bring on the hate or blame Capper! LOL. 😂
In South Australia you cannot ride e-scooters on ANY public road or pathway. They are ONLY legal on *private* property - with the owners' permission, if it's not your property. And the fine for doing so IS $1,500.00 - for "driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle" . There may be new rules/laws coming out... but until then - IIWII. In S.A., The speed limit when passing an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, with it's lights flashing is 25 Km/h. The barefoot driving thing has always been allowed with the mentioned stipulations. I have even driven in thongs (or whatever YOU call 'em - the footwear) but that is defo NOT the safest way to drive, so I only did it a couple of times. The thongs can move unpredictably.... and even fall off and get tangled up in your pedals... barefoot is much safer.
Question for the kind officer - how many fines for scooters on the footpath or not wearing a helmet has he personally issued over the past year? 0 out of the hundreds of times he's seen it I would guess?
I have a question How is it safe for police to travel trice the speed limit through the suburbs and or running red lights to pull a driver over for a minor offence
Q is it ok for the vic state to spend every cent ever made + 180 billion on this crap 🤔 answer no taxes were always roads and rubbish now its everything and the kitchen sink 🤔
Hear all the money grabbing. Over $200 for not wearing a helmet. How does getting a fine in the mail months later save anyone? Most people can't remember the offence.
@imalwaysright so you've only been done for speeding once? If more well I guess you didn't learn your lesson and the Government gets more money to waste and put up more cameras "to save live" (make money more like it).
How is wearing a helmet that hard? The rest of Australia has to pay for the medical bills when you get hurt due to no helmet. Be a adult and put on a helmet
1.5 meters for cyclists?!? Just give them their own lane while your at it. The roads are for cars, cyclists dont pay to be on the road. It makes sense the people who pay to use the roads take priority.
Most cyclists own cars too. I own a car and 2 motorcycles, all of which I pay rego for. Does that mean I have 3 times as much right as you if you only have one car? Share the road mate.
@RealHooksy ahh what?? Your brain works in a weird way. That had nothing to do with what I was saying. Silly comment. The point I was making flew straight over your head. Try to read and think about it before comment straight away and looking as if you have no clue. It has nothing to do with the amount of regos your paying for.
I think the scooter rule is incorrect, you can’t ride scooters on the road in QLD, this title is wrong, these are adjusted by Victorian police not the National road rules.
Road safety is multi faceted, but the powers that be choose to focus on the easiest and biggest earners. My list would include. Terrible road surfaces. Terrible road layout and street signage. Driver training. Driver refresher training, or lack of. In car distractions of most modern vehicles. These have grown to an unacceptable level, with huge touch screens etc. Your mobile phone is nothing compared to these. Driver aids in cars. Dumb down the driver's ability, and in fact can often be more harmful that good. Stupid road rules. Like the one for passing a cyclist. The disparity of speed between the bike and the car causes the driver to drive erratically in such encounters to comply with this if no clear passing position eventuates. You either have to slam on the brakes behind the bike or take a chance out wide in oncoming traffic to pass. Ill thought out, nonsense legislation. Other distractions. Obsession with speed monitoring. Australia has this weird thing with varying speed limits. In on short stretch of road a speed limit can go through eight variations. I had never seen this madness anywhere before. You spend more time trying to work out what the limit is, and looking at the speedo, than watching what else is happening. Because the police set up radar on the change points to catch the unwary. This is often entering built-up areas where you should be concentrating on other vehicles, pedestrians etc. Instead the emphasis is on the speedo and not getting fined. But according to authorities in most cases it is speed. Anyone with half a brain could poke holes in that argument, but it is an easy and profitable option. Little effort is made to solve the bigger problems that may really reduce the road toll.
Now we know why the tint of police vehicles are so dark, it’s so they can use their phones driving while telling you not to use yours.
I pulled up next to cops who were on their mobile phone, it was 2 detectives stopped in the middle of the road no sirens or lights nothing... They pulled me over when i pulled up next to them and yelled out to get off their phone... their excuse was "we're working for the queen of the commonwealth" and it was none of my business why they were stopped in the middle of the road on their phone literally causing a traffic jam.
And their go to defensive answer is "we have been trained for it" but the it turned into a silent mumble, he could not even lie confidently

Nah lets ban e-scooters and crack down on cyclists for existing.
The only thing this showed is that footballers dont seem to know basic road rules
Cops in my town in wa are relaxed and realistic about things providing your not doing the wrong thing or dont have a stupidly modified car!!!!
The ev scooter is not Australia wide? Maybe I missed something? Cos in the West many scooters on the pavement.
Be nice if these two little girls wouldn't giggle
Someone let Selwood know that you can’t drink and drive
Hodgey let him know mate.
Be aware this only applies in Victoria all states have different regulations.
I came here for the road rules so I got 9/10 as the last Q. was not important due to an 80's Swans player wearing very tight shorts, as I was a teen back then I decided that this code of footy was 'Fairy Football'. I'm in my 50's now & that has stuck with me all my life. Men jumping so high in the air like Fairies to get the ball. Please bring on the hate or blame Capper! LOL. 😂
Good work
Can't compare Qld with Vic, 2 different country's
In South Australia you cannot ride e-scooters on ANY public road or pathway. They are ONLY legal on *private* property - with the owners' permission, if it's not your property. And the fine for doing so IS $1,500.00 - for "driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle" . There may be new rules/laws coming out... but until then - IIWII.
In S.A., The speed limit when passing an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, with it's lights flashing is 25 Km/h.
The barefoot driving thing has always been allowed with the mentioned stipulations. I have even driven in thongs (or whatever YOU call 'em - the footwear) but that is defo NOT the safest way to drive, so I only did it a couple of times. The thongs can move unpredictably.... and even fall off and get tangled up in your pedals... barefoot is much safer.
I was expecting the question to be about Rex Hunt rather Allen Jeans but I guess seeing they were Hawks I should have expected it.
Up the hawks
A project for all Hawks players: watch all their premierships. Allan Jeans- best ever coach.
Is this a road safety quiz or some footy game?
Aski the police how much the BMW behind costs - with all the vicpol gear installed - I’m going to guess $400k
Question for the kind officer - how many fines for scooters on the footpath or not wearing a helmet has he personally issued over the past year? 0 out of the hundreds of times he's seen it I would guess?
These are all very basic road rule questions
I have a question
How is it safe for police to travel trice the speed limit through the suburbs and or running red lights to pull a driver over for a minor offence
super informative! go hawks :)))
The Social Media team at the Hawks are the best
only lost 179 lives he says. Thailand looses that many every 2 weeks. Its marvelous what happens when they can steal your money
Q is it ok for the vic state to spend every cent ever made + 180 billion on this crap 🤔 answer no taxes were always roads and rubbish now its everything and the kitchen sink 🤔
go hawks
What a lovely policeman!
Learn your Club history boys. I got one (cyclist knew 1m, not 1.5 over 60) got Yabby on the first clue
Stop pulling people over on the freeway!!
I remember that crash
Surely its not hard to go on the off ramp. Instead they have everyone hit brakes from 100 to 40!!
Never stop for the cops on your pushbike.
Australian or Victorian?
More reasons for the federal government to change road rules, rego and licensing a single federal system!
It's also apparently a fine for not running a red light if a thug needs to get his fine quota up. $720 for not running a red. Thanx.
hit a cow that walks out onto the road and your charged with negligent driving the worlds most corupt laws
7:47 every cop ever
Nanny state
Hear all the money grabbing. Over $200 for not wearing a helmet. How does getting a fine in the mail months later save anyone? Most people can't remember the offence.
When you get the fine, you’ll know not to do it again. .
@imalwaysright so you've only been done for speeding once? If more well I guess you didn't learn your lesson and the Government gets more money to waste and put up more cameras "to save live" (make money more like it).
Exactly, a fine a month later is useless. Just impound the bike instead, that would get the message along quickly
How is wearing a helmet that hard? The rest of Australia has to pay for the medical bills when you get hurt due to no helmet. Be a adult and put on a helmet
govern me harder daddy
I would fight and win some of these in court they contradict normal laws
I WAS 1K LIKE
Q.Who am I?I don't fly any more I drive.A. Ginnispud.
Better driving barefoot than wearing thongs
Then why are scooters and electric assistance vehicles not a registered licenced vehicles ?
They are on qld
1.5 meters for cyclists?!? Just give them their own lane while your at it. The roads are for cars, cyclists dont pay to be on the road. It makes sense the people who pay to use the roads take priority.
Most cyclists own cars too.
I own a car and 2 motorcycles, all of which I pay rego for.
Does that mean I have 3 times as much right as you if you only have one car?
Share the road mate.
@RealHooksy ahh what?? Your brain works in a weird way. That had nothing to do with what I was saying. Silly comment. The point I was making flew straight over your head. Try to read and think about it before comment straight away and looking as if you have no clue. It has nothing to do with the amount of regos your paying for.
What happened with the fire
I think the scooter rule is incorrect, you can’t ride scooters on the road in QLD, this title is wrong, these are adjusted by Victorian police not the National road rules.
VicPol are all flops, glad i dont barrack for hawks lmao this is embarrasin
Road safety is multi faceted, but the powers that be choose to focus on the easiest and biggest earners. My list would include. Terrible road surfaces. Terrible road layout and street signage. Driver training. Driver refresher training, or lack of. In car distractions of most modern vehicles. These have grown to an unacceptable level, with huge touch screens etc. Your mobile phone is nothing compared to these. Driver aids in cars. Dumb down the driver's ability, and in fact can often be more harmful that good. Stupid road rules. Like the one for passing a cyclist. The disparity of speed between the bike and the car causes the driver to drive erratically in such encounters to comply with this if no clear passing position eventuates. You either have to slam on the brakes behind the bike or take a chance out wide in oncoming traffic to pass. Ill thought out, nonsense legislation. Other distractions. Obsession with speed monitoring. Australia has this weird thing with varying speed limits. In on short stretch of road a speed limit can go through eight variations. I had never seen this madness anywhere before. You spend more time trying to work out what the limit is, and looking at the speedo, than watching what else is happening. Because the police set up radar on the change points to catch the unwary. This is often entering built-up areas where you should be concentrating on other vehicles, pedestrians etc. Instead the emphasis is on the speedo and not getting fined. But according to authorities in most cases it is speed. Anyone with half a brain could poke holes in that argument, but it is an easy and profitable option. Little effort is made to solve the bigger problems that may really reduce the road toll.
What did I just watch haha so weird
The audio on this vidio is totally fucked
if you didn't know they existed you shouldn't be driving
WHAT THEY DONT NO YABBY! What great players and hawks but not noing hawks history and yabby is poor!! Cmon mass and weeds😂
