    Australia's Hidden Road Rule: Fines for Leaving Your Car Unlocked

    Australia's Hidden Road Rule: Fines for Leaving Your Car Unlocked Australia has a lesser-known road rule that catches many drivers off guard: leaving your car unlocked when you're more than three meters away can result in a hefty fine. This regulation, in place across most states and territories, is designed to deter car theft and break-ins, as explained by lawyer Avinash Singh in a recent Yahoo News Australia video. "Most drivers are completely unaware of it and are usually shocked when the police confront them," Singh stated, emphasizing the rule's obscurity. The rule's existence is intended to reduce the risk of theft and break-ins, a significant concern for many Australians. However, there is an exception: drivers are allowed to leave a window open up to two centimeters for ventilation, especially if a pet is inside the vehicle. This exception shows consideration for animal welfare while maintaining the overall security objective. This rule serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and ensure their vehicles are properly secured. The potential for fines highlights the importance of awareness and responsible vehicle security.
