If they get caught driving or anything within that 2 years it starts again, but 3 years, caught again licence taken from them forever and 3 months jail.

I don't think fines will do anything...


Exactly what i think, even if my posts differ from this it definitely is what needs to be done to put a stop to it.

Seems for most, fines just get ticked up, untill the gov writes them off, and they seem to get off without even a slap on the wrist.

Then for others like me, you get a parking fine for no rego (which for the life of me I dont remember getting), then 2 years later they find were you live and dam near confiscate your car for it!!!! Imagine that suprise 8O

I know a guy (not a friend) that had close to $30k worth of fines, he did 2 half days of community service and had the lot lot written off!
I think that if they are going to get community service it should be done at minimum wage. So $30,000 at $12.75 (I think that's the minimum wage) is 294 days at 8 hours a day. No weekends, 294 straight days, you miss a day BAM another 50 days.

Nah the max community work the courts give out is 400 hours. Any more they send you to prison.

Hmmm... well instead of clogging up the prisons I think hundreds of days of community service with no weekends. At least then if they didn't have weekends, and still had to work a job to make ends meet they won't have any time to cause trouble. 8 hours community service, 8 hours working and 8 hours sleeping, perfect day for these drop kicks :twisted:

Political stunt had no real world value.

But another (belated) vote ++ for the posted comments and apparent attitude toward this, validates my long standing view that we're well above the 'boyracer' stereotype.

Yea , how do you do 3 loss of traction's in a car with no motor / wheels etc :roll:
EP82 Starlet GT club race car;
best time around Manfield to date : 1:19:91

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
