Absolutely. (Though I live in the same place :p). The car driving culture throughout Australia is objectively pretty toxic. And I don't mean the addiction to cars + suburbia (that's a whole other topic). I just mean the general entitlement and objective hostility to any other community member, road user, or alternative use for roads/resources. Anyone who's spent any time as a cyclist, motorcyclist, pedestrian will know not only that sense of entitlement, but also probably have been the target of active hostility and intimidation. Mobile phone use while driving is objectively dangerous, and God forbid such standards be enforced while driving a dangerous chunk of metal on a public good.
