An opposition member of the ACT's parliament has found himself in more TikTok trouble after livestreaming himself while driving in Canberra's south at the weekend.
Mark Parton has referred himself to police over the incident.
Mr Parton answered questions and provided live commentary of his drive along Drakeford Drive while glancing between the road and the camera, a recording of the livestream posted online shows.
"This is the go. This is the go. This is the go with the parkway. You get one red light, you're going to get all of them. You're going to get all of them. At this stage of the game, I've had every red light on Drakeford Drive," Mr Parton says in the footage.
The video shows Mr Parton, who said he was on his way to collect a birthday cake for his daughter, reading questions while driving.
The territory's road rules make it illegal to use a mobile device while driving unless the device is secured in a mount and the driver does not need to touch the device in any way.
Mr Parton has apologised for the incident.
"While driving on the weekend I attempted a hands-free live-stream to my social media. This was a mistake and I apologise for this error of judgement. I regret my actions and fully support police efforts to crack down on driver distraction," Mr Parton said in a statement.
ACT police have been contacted for comment.
This is the not the first time Mr Parton, a former radio host elected in 2016, has run into trouble by using TikTok.
Mr Parton was kicked out of the Legislative Assembly in July last year after he refused to remove a video on the platform that was filmed inside the parliament building against broadcast rules.
Speaker Joy Burch reprimanded Mr Parton after he posted a video suggesting the speaker was "destroying democracy" by enforcing rules against filming inside the Legislative Assembly building.
