New cameras that can see right into cars coming to Queensland roads

Mobile road cameras than can see directly into a person's car will be rolled out in secret locations across Queensland.

Authorities said the cameras would particularly target people using their phones while driving.

"Driving distracted with your mobile phone is the drink driving of this era," Transport Minister Mark Bailey told 9News.

The cameras were trialled across the state for five months last year.

During the trial, more than 15,000 were busted on their phones behind the wheel, copping a $1000 fine and losing four demerit points apiece.

A further 2000 were seen not wearing a seatbelt, which incurs a $413 fine.

The cameras will be rolled out from July 26, though police are not revealing how many, or their locations.

Due to their structure, the cameras can even spot a mobile phone resting on somebody's lap, with police saying if it is touching somebody's body, it will incur a penalty.

However, drivers will have some time to get used to the new set-up.

Fines won't be issued until November 1, although even with the lead-in time, it is estimated they will bring in millions of dollars in state revenue.

Authorities said all the money would go back into road safety.
