It was SE. It was definitely in their advertising style, and I'm not sure because I drove past it quite quickly, but it may have had an "I
Something" slogan on it.

Of course not! But I may go past it again today on my way to work, so hopefully I'll get a better look.

Well I went past today and managed to get a photo as I was going past. Not the best quality or angle because it's a pretty grey day here (now raining) and because I only got one chance of getting a photo while not moving.
Also I guess that because of new laws, I was risking a fine if a cop saw me!

here. The billboard says "I
my different lives"
It was easier to upload the photo to Flickr from my phone than it was to access Flickr from my work computer to post this!

As I understand it... the ban isn't in effect until November, but you can still get done for wreckless driving if holding the cellphone causes you to drive erratically, even witout the ban. The difference is that after the ban, if sighted using a phone you can be prosecuted even before exhibiting dodgy driving.
On a similar note, someone I knew who'd had to much drink to drive and decided to sleep it off overnight before driving home, was prosecuted for drink driving as a result of having the keys in the ignition to listen to the radio. The person was fast asleep at 3am when they were busted.
Better to get a taxi and come back later for the car.

Thanks carkitter. Because I'm working so much, and at night too, I haven't been able to catch the news in a few weeks at least. I didn't know the new laws aren't in effect til November. I never use my phone while driving anyway, apart from today of course.
That sounds a bit harsh though with the drink driving even though he/she was just listening to the radio!

According to Vodafone:
"On average, Vodafone Prepay customers save $375 a month on call & TXTing with BestMate."
They reckon the average BestMate customer uses $375 worth per month. Jeeze, some people must be milking it to hell. I know I probably use about $50 but no more.

Those who 'milk it' to the extent of $375+ are likely talking while driving. I worked with a truck driver who was on his mobile non stop...
