Driving with a mobile phone is equivalent to .08 behind the wheel of a car and that\u2019s why we\u2019re now being hard and fast on this.\u201d\n\nMr Constance said the grace period was fair and the state government was \u201cbeing kind in that regard\u201d.\n\n\u201cWe want people to get the warning letter and change their behaviour immediately, which I believe will happen,\u201d he said.\n\nPolice will still enforce illegal phone use and issue infringements as usual during the grace period.\n\nAt the conclusion of the warning period, drivers will be fined $344 \u2013 or $457 if caught in a school zone \u2013 and lose five demerit points.\n\nDrivers can legally use phone cradles and make and receive phone calls through Bluetooth, Mr Constance said.\n\nHe said images would be destroyed within an hour of them being taken if phones weren\u2019t detected via an algorithm.\n\nIf mobiles were present, the images would then be considered by two qualified professionals.\n\nRegional Roads Minister Paul Toole says an estimated 135 million vehicle checks will be performed annually under the program by 2023.\n\nNSW Centre for Road Safety executive director Bernard Carlon says modelling shows the cameras could prevent 100 fatal and serious injury crashes over five years.\n\n<strong>SEE ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cms.star1045.com.au\/articles\/petrol-prices-set-rise-across-nsw\">Petrol prices set to rise across NSW\u00a0<\/a>\n\n<em>Source: AAP<\/em>\n\n<em>Image: Getty \/ skaman306<\/em>\n\n<em>Written by Ally Parker<\/em>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forty-five cameras have been installed.
