A woman was fined by traffic authorities after being caught using a phone while driving.
When the mum received a $362AUD fine in the mail she was quick to ask for the photo evidence.

Turns out though it wasn't technically a mobile phone… it was just her daughter's toy phone.
As if Bluey hasn’t taken over enough of a parent's life, the themed toy has now landed this mum with a fine and five demerit points lighter.
Transport for NSW has said that they are working with Revenue NSW to ‘review the incident’.
“Transport for NSW will work with Revenue NSW to review the penalty notice in question”
The incident has sparked a debate as while it's technically not a real mobile phone, it could still be classed as a distraction.
So the next time Bluey or Bingo give you a call, maybe be like Elsa and ‘let it go’ to answer phone.
