AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES - REG 125

125—Unreasonably obstructing drivers or pedestrians

        (1)         A driver must not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian.

Offence provision.

Note—

"Driver" includes a person in control of a vehicle—see the definition of "drive" in the dictionary.

        (2)         For this rule, a driver does not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian only because—

            (a)         the driver is stopped in traffic; or

            (b)         the driver is driving more slowly than other vehicles (unless the driver is driving abnormally slowly in the circumstances).

Example of a driver driving abnormally slowly—

A driver driving at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour on a length of road to which a speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour applies when there is no reason for the driver to drive at that speed on the length of road.
