We still need rules. It seems like a free for all where I live. Go to the local supermarket with an underground car park, its one way yea right! I check before pulling out but more times than not someone is going the wrong way and have the hide to abuse me! Nearly every time I drive to Sydney from Newcastle I will see at least one person doing a U turn on the freeway (despite signs advising its illegal) Came across another Semi doing a U turn that was obviously fully loaded by its speed. Lucky no-one had an "accident". Just because you have an excuse is no reason to break the rules. I do have a problem with entrapment though. Also I think in my State, you only have to have gates to make it private, no gates is Public thoroughfare.yes i did.
and essentially the judge was like. well did you "insert offence here" and i was like due to the circumstances. the judge cut me off and said it doesn't matter you still broke the law regardless of the build up that let to it.
its all just black and white to them.
its like speeding up to overtake someone doing 80 than 60 than 90 than 60 again < (how many times have you come up to people doing that) in a 100 zone and you speed up to overtake them safely and thats exactly where the cunt will be with a radar and he does you for speeding.
doesn't care about what caused it or whether it was safe to do so. you still broke the law by speeding.
its not about safety. it never has been. its about handing out infringements and getting surplus up for their station so they can hire more staff. they dont get commission on handing out fines (as much as we would all believe they do) but they get budgets for their station. if they can hand out enough fines and meet their budgets they can hire more staff. thats why theyre always looking for more and more ways to fine you and get you for the most ridiculous things. eg going into a servo through the no exit even though you had just ran out of fuel.
and before you guys carry on with a servo is on private property and they cant fine you. anything with free access is regarded as hiway and police are able to fine you. eg;
you pull your car into your drive way and shut the gates. that is now private property and you can ask the police to leave your premesis.
you pull up same instance, and gates are open. police have right of way.
