Little-known road rule that could cost you hundreds
An urgent warning has been issued for Aussie motorists over a little-known road rule that could cost you a $704 fine.
While many are aware of the hefty fine that comes with driving an unregistered vehicle, not a lot of people know that in New South Wales it is illegal to park an unregistered car on a road or a road related area for more than 15 days after the vehicle's registration has expired.
If you get caught, you could be fined $704 and up to 20 penalty units.
Penalties vary between jurisdictions, but motorists can be fined almost as heavily as driving an unregistered car.
Another little-known road rule that could land you in big trouble is waving out a car window.
According to Budget Direct, both the passenger and driver could face a fine of $337 and a loss of three demerit points if they are caught doing the simple act.
"Even winding down the window and stretching your arm outside to cool down could also get you in trouble," Budget Direct said.
"According to all state and territories' driving regulations, it is illegal for any part of your body to be outside a moving vehicle at any time."
