It comes as latest data reveals that across Australia drivers are using their mobile phone through 1 in 8 every car trips, and Victorian drivers are using their mobile phone through 1 in every 7 car trips.
The analysis of more than 72 million kilometres of driving data also reveals Good Friday is the third-worst day of the year for driver behaviour.
