A female driver is furious after receiving a hefty fine because
her passenger was using FaceTime while she was driving. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7144153/Driver-fumes-shes-handed-337-fine-little-known-offence.html 'I honestly didn't know that was a thing': Driver fumes as she's handed a $337 fine for a VERY little-known offence - as fellow motorists share her outrage A driver was fined $337 because her passenger was on her phone using facetime Others shared her anger, but police and RMS confirmed it's a legitimate offence Last month a NSW man was fined because his passenger was using a laptop. A female driver is furious after receiving a hefty fine because her passenger was using FaceTime while she was driving. Sheree, from Sydney, posted a photo of her $337 fine to social media, saying she had no idea she was breaking the law. 'Tell your passengers to stay off their phones while you are driving, I got fined because my passenger was on FaceTime,' she wrote. 'Honestly didn’t know that was a thing.' The offence on the fine was listed as 'Drive vehicle with TV/VDU image likely to distract'. Her post has been shared more than 10,000 times, and other drivers echoed her anger, arguing the little-known offence should be publicised more. 'What a joke. They haven’t advertised this much. As if we need something else to control while we’re driving,' one woman wrote. 'Ok this is ridiculous. I get drivers being off their phones etc but this is pathetic,' wrote another. 'Tell me you’re going to fight this?!?! That’s ridiculous,' another woman wrote. But it turns out that the bizarre offence is actually a law in New South Wales. |

It's crazy.
What if you have a Tom Tom Sat Nav stuck to the bottom of the the center of your windscreen? I use one whenever I don't know the streets well. Would I be fined in NSW? What about cars with an inbuilt Sat Nav? |

Cops can legally use mobile phone, did you know that?
The grubberment is not getting their anticipated immoral revenue from speed $cameras because people use their GPS and social media feeds to warn them. The grubberment are now looking additional revenue as the start putting drivers off the road for drink and drug driving. ( this is a good thing, keeps them off the road) But the grubberment recognise that no licence means, in most cases, no tax revenue and quite possibly dole payments. So the grubberment have decided, through their slut, the roads authority, to generate as much dirty money as they can. Mobile phone use.....massive fines Obstruct your number plate.....massive fine Bald tyres....a pittance of a fine. Which is the greater danger? Get ready to be fleeced The grubberment want and need your money They will use every sneaky, immoral, barely legal and sometimes illegal means to get it. And why do they want this money? To give to parasites, lots and lots of parasites Muzzos Reffos Abbos Dead beat dole bludgers Politicians Senior public servants. Etc, etc. The working class are expected to fund these parasites with 1/3 or more of their income every year. The grubberment want more, they want to send more to dead shite worthless countries as well. One more year, and I'm through giving the grubberment anything. They can just suck my rectum if they want anything, because thats all they are going to get. A POX ON THEM ALL |

By changing the law so that you are no longer innocent until proven guilty. You are now required to prove your innocence. E.g. If your car gets flashed. You cannot deny driving it, you are required by law to nominate someone or you are fined. In other words, the onus is now on you to prove innocence. For this very reason, speed cameras were removed from the USA Our grubberment knows we have no rights, that's because they refuse to draw up a bill of rights.

When you're driving your car, that's all you should be doing. Eating, smoking, fiddling with the radio, etc. all have the potential to distract drivers. Many years ago I saw a driver in front of me kill himself by changing tapes in his car's cassette deck. As he lent over to reach the centre of the dashboard, he inadvertently turned the steering wheel and went over an embankment. The car landed on its roof, and he died on impact. I have no problem with police charging drivers who are distracted. I don't want some idiot running into me while they're texting their friends. |

The cops, as we all know, simply prostitute themselves to the roads and marine. The roads and marine are the sluts of the grubberment. The grubberment are getting desperate for money. Their nose little earners are starting to dry up. People now call have GPS devices with speed camera locations and several apps also have warnings of their other sneaky little earner the camera cars. Stamp duty is falling down and as jobs dry up, so does the tax they get from workers. Therefore, the grubberment say...."Get some cash...now" The R&M say "YES BOSS" The cops, or more accurately, the highway patrol, say "Which way do you want it" The grubberment says "Anyway you can, legal, illegal, corrupt, we don't care, we will make laws to make anything legal" And so the R&M come up with any semi- legal, immoral and corrupt mechanism they can to grab as much cash from the worker they can. Bring on double demerits, or more accurately Holiday time, time to saturate the roads and raise revenue. Remember when the RTA were accused of revenue raising? They stated it wasn't and they made all minor offences 3 points, at double demerit time it became 6 points. Then people were losing their licenses hand over fist, revenue was down because no car meant no job, no job meant no tax. So the grubberment redesigned the points system 1 point for the 90% of offences, less than 10k over the limit And many more for the rest. Best of both worlds, lots of revenue, and still working. Now they are taking licenses off people for drug and alcohol offences When they start losing more revenue, they will change that rule too. Money is king to the grubberment They don't care how they get it A POX ON THEM ALL WE NEED A REVOLUTION |

By the way, it was mentioned in her facebook photos that her infringement notice was revoked due to the officer being misinformed about the rule regarding distraction. The rule only applies to the passenger being distracted if the passenger is at the time teaching the learner driver at the controls of the vehicle.

Frickin' dung mattered me off this afternoon about getting an "offender levy" against me, after the court ruled that I pay only the fine and the court costs, after losing my court battle. But, SPERS wanted a piece of the pie, adding the offender levy on top of that decision. SPERS can get the minimum repayments I am allowed. bugger-em.

So In other words, The grubberment have decided, not just to punish you for some semi- legal cash grab fine But if you have the gall to dare and question them, they fine you on top of the fine? But you can't get compensation for your time and effort to fight the fine if you win. And this is an honest system??????????? All the grubberment want is to churn out fines and get the pennies rolling in. If they stuff up, as we all know they do regularly, they don't want anyone to question it, but to just pay up. Speed cameras are about as accurate as a two Bob watch. They measure your speed over 1 metre, that's right, 1 metre. The signal is picked up by a piezoelectric sensor in the road and sent to a computer mounted in a box on the side of the road. As your wheel goes over the second piezoelectric sensor, a second signal is sent to the computer If the timeframe is too short, it tells the camera to take a picture. Bingo, flash for cash. Now the facts Piezoelectric sensors are know to fail or malfunction regularly. Putting them in an environment that can be anything from 0 deg to 60 plus degrees will cause them to malfunction even more often. Then there is the computer We all have computers don't We? All of our computers function flawlessly every single day, don't they? And putting a computer in a box on the side of the road that has temperatures of a similar range to the road 0 deg to over 60 deg c is really going to be beneficial to the computer function. Trucks, cars and other vehicles also vibrate Quite a bit in fact. Out of balance tyres can affect the piezoelectric sensors Vibration can and does destroy circuitry in the boxes that house traffic lights. (I used to test these things and you should see how truck noise vibration destroys the circuitry) But the speed camera computers, far more complex than traffic light computers, won't be affected like every other electrical device, because the known lying R&M tell us so???? Finally, you get the "fine" in the post weeks or months after the event. It's virtually impossible to prove you were not speeding at a time weeks or months before. And the grubberment have circumvented the law by making you guilty without actually proving you are. You must prove your innocence, rather than them proving guilt. Our grubberment are all crooks The R&M are even bigger crooks, justifying their lies and corruption by claiming they save lives. But there is ZERO , nada, nuffink to prove that putting up speed cameras and camera cars has actually saved even one life. But, on the other hand, it can be easily proven that fixing the roads save many lives. But the grubberment don't want to spend money fixing roads, they just want revenue. A POX ON THEM ALL. |

I will tell you some of the details. It was a public holiday. The officer was under pressure to fine any motorist to justify his job. I came along about a second too late to go through an amber light. The traffic lights turned from amber to red when I was about halfway through the intersection. I exited the intersection a second later. The officer put his emergency lights on and intercepted me down the road. Officer explained to me that I could have stopped at the stop line. I told him otherwise. I figured that there was a rule -- later told to me by a duty lawyer -- that if you cannot stop safely for a yellow light, you may proceed through. It is now told to me that even if you cannot stop for the stop line safely, you should stop safely over the stop line and back up. Only excuses are emergency reasons, or if a car is following behind. $391 fine - 3 point demerit. The court did not want to hear any of my claims that I tried to brake, even after I pointed it out to her in the dash cam footage of a red flash, and even the car coming in to view that I was braking until I withdrew braking procedure and rolled over the line and then kept going. I left the scene of the intersection well before the officer's vehicle had got the green light. I did not impede or do any dangerous on the road. If anything, had I tried to stop for the stop line, I would have gone off the road. What really irks me is that the prosecuting lawyer acted like this was an open-and-shut case. The audible scoffs she gave when I was giving testimony. The all-high-and-mighty attitude about how I should have easily gone from 50kmh to 0 inside a distance of 10m from the stop line. The way she summed up by telling the magistrate how to do her job giving her directions. Oh, and she was acting on the police's behalf at no cost to the officer. I wish I could have had a representative speak on my behalf, given that I was not in any considerable fashion someone with lawyer experience. I wish the Qld police would make up their minds on what is acceptable. |

The problem was, I tried to stop for the yellow light. And had I not slowed down for the yellow light, I would very likely have exited the intersection before the lights had turned red. All the court saw on police dash cam footage was of me driving about 40kmh through an intersection after having slowed from 55kmh (max). The situation I had was a 70m stretch of road that showed a green light facing me when I turned the corner and headed towards the intersection. The cars that had passed through the intersection before me had given me the impression that the lights there had only just turned green. So, I had the gamble of either driving up slowly and betting on an amber light to stop safely. Or speeding up and getting a green light that only just turns amber just before or after I reach the stop line. But, the light turned amber a good distance before I reached the stop line. I had to go from accelerating to braking in what, after reviewing the footage at home, I can say was about 0.75 seconds after the light turned amber. Gave just over a second's worth of braking. Then rolled over the stop line at a perceptively slow speed on dash cam footage. At that point, I accelerated off the intersection halfway through to clear the intersection, which was about the time of the red light. Alternatively, had I kept accelerating to the speed limit before the stop line, I would have got to the stop line a second after the light turned amber, and I would likely have gone through the intersection easily before the light turned red. Had I kept braking, I would have stopped over the stop line. It all came down to whether I felt I was doing the right thing. I had a near similar situation a month after that, where I slowed from 60kmh to 50kmh for that area. I got a yellow light, where the vehicle was in a similar relative position. I quickly braked and braked heavily. I went from 50kmh to 0kmh in a short time and managed to pull up to the stop line, with the front wheels over the stop line. The difference being that I was in a smaller car and had readied myself better and was not in the process of accelerating. The Qld police have fined me for stopping over the stop line, 20 years ago. Now, they changed their minds and will fine people for not stopping for yellow light signals. I wish that had some consistency with their rulings. This was a blatant revenue raising exercise for the police officer. |

'Once again drivers will be paying more to renew their licences and they'll be out of pocket more to keep their vehicles registered. The cost of a driver licence will increase to as much as $180.70 for a five year licence,' Ms Hunter said. |

And that income should come from taxes But multinationals don't pay taxes Business, fiddles and gets deductions so effectively don't pay taxes Millionaires hire accountants to dodge taxes, and pay little tax Banks pay a fraction of the tax they should Leaving the working class to pay up to 48% tax If the gruferment actually taxed the above properly, there woukd be virtually no need for taxing the working man. But our grubberment are all corrupt, use the tax dodges they design, give grants and allowances to the businesses who bribe them And spend whatever money they get on worthless parasites Muzzos Abbos and deadbeat who don't work and think working people owe them a living. So they need cash, by whatever corrupt, semi-legal, illegal, twisted and immoral method they can. Enter fines. Fines for everything, and then they set up schemes to reap money from those fines. Several years ago, a council in Sydney put up a 1 way sign on a dead end street. A corrupt and immoral cop sat at the entrance and booked any cars who came out. Even if 1/2 The people he booked couldn't be bothered fighting it, they made money for nothing. Another one was when they changed the speed limit in my area overnight. They changed the signs from 80 to 60, and didn't paint new signs on the road, just blacked it out. The next morning, I got booked for doing 70 in a 60 zone, I stated it was 80 and I was under the speed limit. He laughed and said "read the sign" I explained that creates like him are what makes slugger and cockroaches look bad. Emphasis on the cockroaches, a police name for highway patrol by regular cops. He got quite angry and decided to go over my car for defects. I stood back and watched as he went over everything, looking for any defect. He found nothing. I then told him it was a company car, and that even had he found something, it wouldn't matter as my company woukd simply fix it, so he wasted his time. He got even angrier. I told him I would go back down the road and warn people by pointing at the sign. He said that was illegal, I asked him how it was illegal to point at a sign and laughed at him. True to my word, I did exactly that. After a while he realised that I was doing it and he came and told me to move on. I said no, you will have to arrest me. I laughed again and he drove off in quite a huff. I waited around, deciding sick pay could pay for the fine, and about 1/2 hour later he came back thinking I woukd be gone, I waved at him and laughed He was seriously pissed off, revenue was taking a hit. I wasted a few hours listening to music and reading. But the important thing was I pissed off a dead shite moron. |

I love the school zone scam.
There is one school in Sydney that is at least 1/2 kilometre from the road that has a school zone set up. The speed cameras in both directions are set up on a heavily trafficed road. Whereas , where the school is, there is very little traffic. But they won't let honesty or morals get in the way of a 24 hours, variable speed and red light camera. The other little scam they love is the "constantly changing speed limit" scam. From my home to the freeway (10 klm) there are no fewer than 9 speed limit changes. One, from a 70k zone to a 50k zone and then back to a 70 k zone happens as you turn a corner. This is a favorite to our local cockroaches. It can be, and is fought in court successfully, because of the distances involved. But only if you fight it Many cannot afford to or can't be bothered to fight it, so it's quite profitable. Speed limits in my area change quite frequently, road work, even digging a damn hole on the footpath, brings a 40 then a 15 klm/ hr speed limit. Even when the road work is on an estate, nowhere near the actual road, our council puts up road work signs, accompanied by the resident cockroach. Newcastle had a good one Every holiday, they put up road work signs at a local school. The speed camera was set up for school zone, so with the road work, they just left it there and reaped profits. But, there was no road work.....ever. And they got pinged. But for years they made lots and lots of revenue. |

The $130 fine I got for "disobeying a red light signal" should have been enough. And the warning I got when I first was pulled over for a yellow light infraction should have been the end of the debate. I had read the rules of the Transport Operations after that to make sure I was very familiar with the law. Rule 57 Stopping for a yellow traffic light or arrow (1) A driver who is approaching, or at, traffic lights showing a yellow traffic light— (a) must stop— (i) if there is a stop line at or near the traffic lights and the driver can stop safely before reaching the stop line—as near as practicable to, and before reaching, the stop line; I read that rule as in if you have to hit your brakes heavily to stop before the stop line, you could claim that it was not going to be safe to stop for the stop line. However, there is a section in subparagraph iii) that states: if the traffic lights are at an intersection and the driver can not stop safely under subparagraph (i) or (ii), but can stop safely before entering the intersection—before entering the intersection; Source: https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/pdf/2017-08-25/sl-2009-0194 So, basically, the rule for stopping safely means that even if I did not stop safely for the stop line, I could still stop safely before entering the intersection, but over the stop line. The magistrate pointed out that it is a traffic offence to drive through a yellow light. The only arguments that can be taken into account would be if you were a second away from reaching the stop line and would not be able to stop either for the stop line or just over the stop line. Or, if there was a car following that looked like it would not stop in time. There is no, "had I felt that I would have stopped in the intersection, I could just keep going" judgement calls. That was what I felt was what the magistrate should have ruled. I won't like the ruling. But, that is how things will have to change for me, now. |
Title: Re: Busty babe gets fined for nothing Post by Valkie on Jul 4th, 2019 at 5:58am
Firstly
Speed cameras are inaccurate, very inaccurate. As I described, the method used is at best, primitive. The R&M reject many speeding fines simply because cars cannot achieve the speeds detected. Cops with radars are far more accurate Set up on a tripod with correct placement, accuracies of up to 0.5 klm/hr are possible. But how many actually set up correctly, most just hang the radar out the window, which has been proven to be quite inaccurate. The speed camera cars are up tgere with the radars, using similar technology. HOWEVER the mob tgat Australia uses to collect revenue were kicked out of the US for fiddling the setting to get additional revenue. They got caught, the fines had to be refunded and the mob was kicked out . Do you honestly think they are any better controlled in Australia? Red light cameras. These little beauties caused so many rear end crashes in the states, that they were also banned. They worked out that more people were being injured in rear enders than in red light runner crashes. We are a little better in Australia, being as we are so pussy beaten, but the cameras are still just anger revenue tool. Now, the R&M, under the orders of the grubberment, are desperatly looking at every opportunity to fleece motorists. Mobile phone offences ( but cops are exempt) 40k zones when the disco lights are flashing, another poorly thought out "solution" to a problem that docent exist. It will soon be that you have to pay fines every year and get a refund if you don't do anything wrong. More and more inventive revenue tools are still to be introduced, they are coming people. One suggestion was a sealed GPS device which you submit every year, which records how many times you exceeded the speed limit based on GPS location. They have to iron out the multiple speed limit changes before that little gem can be introduced. Rego time, hand over the GPS, run it through the computer Tgat will be $2397.00 thank you You exceeded the limit 9 times. Or even better That will be $12345.00 thank you You exceeded the speed limit 200 times. BLOODY thieving crooks. |
Title: Re: Busty babe gets fined for nothing Post by UnSubRocky on Jul 4th, 2019 at 1:25pm
Speed cameras will take a photograph of your car if you exceed 10kmh over the speed limit. Unless you can prove that it was not your car, or there was another car in the photograph that there would be doubt, then you might as well pay the fine. If you contest the fine, it would have to be over a mistake made on the police's part.

Your not getting it people.
The equipment is faulty, it does not function correctly It is booking many people who are not actually speeding. The cameras are as accurate as a two Bob watch. Police with their radars use them incorrectly and book people who are not speeding Camera cars were fiddled in the US to increase revenue, I'll bet they are doing the same here. The system is corrupt and illegal, but used to obtain more and more revenue. If you speed, cop it sweet But if the equipment is faulty, used incorrectly or fiddled to at additional revenue, it need to be exposed. The problem is, anything the R&M do is not open to question. They can do what they like, simply because the generate copious revenue for the corrupt grubberment. It's all about the money, nothing about safety. If, and this is a fact, if they were serious about saving lives They woukd fix the damn goat tracks they laughingly refer to as roads. Not attack the poor bigger driving on them. |

It's for safety they say.....lies
Consider this You are driving down the road safely at around 60k in a 60 k zone You come to a school zone First you check to see what speed you are doing..1 to 2 seconds Then you check the time of day ( is school zone operating?)....1 to 2 seconds Then you slow down..2 to 5 seconds, unless you stand on the brakes. Checking your speed as you go You hit the school zone at the posted 40k everybody's happy But in the process you have had your eyes off the road for 4 to 9 seconds Now 60k is approx 16m per second Multiply that by 4 seconds and you have travelled 64 metres without looking at the road Or 9 seconds which is over 140 metres not looking at the road. Ok you hit the school zone at 40k happy days. But what about the kid not crossing outside the school zone? Or the parent crossing the road outside the school zone? Or that car pulling out from the curb? 64 metres people, just to make sure you don't pay extra revenue to the grubberment. It's a farce, a total farce Conducted by a criminal , greedy grubberment department to raise revenue. And 100 metres down the road A kid who is desensitized to vehicles travelling at 60 k Walks out in front of a car thinking he can beat it Instant bloody mess. Woukd it not And I know this is a HUGE consideration. But would it not, be better to teach kids to be wary of traffic and obey the road rules? Perhaps even teach them that stepping out in front of cars could be......terminal? Maybe, just maybe, scare the little darlings so that they don't run into traffic? But sadly no Teachers are too busy filling their little heads with bullshite about 250 genders and global warming/ cooling/ change or whatever is the flavour of the month. |

That is irrelevant. By the time you see the sign that says 40kmh school zone, you don't take 1 to 2 seconds to check your speed, then 1 to 2 seconds to think about whether it is that time of day to be doing 40kmh through the school zone. You don't need 2 to 4 seconds to react appropriately to signage. You start dropping your speed down to 40kmh when you see the sign, and then you can reconsider whether it was the right time of day to do that speed. I find adjusting my speed for different speed limit signage areas to be second nature for myself. Any driver with at least 5 years experience should be able to do the same. |

If you are unsure, you slow down to 40. Either that, or stop complaining about the tickets you get.

the cop with the radar gun can certainly change at will. Again, not every school has flashing lights. If they did there wouldn't be an issue. |

I've never complained when I've been pinged. I've only had a couple of speeding fines in my life and I was speeding, young and silly. I haven't had a traffic infringement for 35 years now my wife has never had one. |

I got one a few years ago for going 48 in a 40 zone. I think the ticket was wrong but I just paid it. I consider it a cost of driving just like registration. Now I drive 30km/hr in the same area to make sure that I can't exceed the speed limit & I have dozens of cars backed up behind me - some tooting their horns - but I don't care - they can all go slow so that I can avoid another fine. |

I've driven through those without flashing lights, just a sign with the times, when I have had no idea of the time so I just do 40K for 30-60 seconds. It's not that hard. |

On Parramatta Rd near Lewisham there is a 40 zone. There is an overpass separating 6 lanes and two sets of lights about 500 metres apart. There is a 8 ft cyclone fence to stop students climbing onto the road. The school is a high school. If you're that stupid at 12-13 years of age that you'll ignore an overpass and two sets of lights to scale an 8 ft fence to cross six lanes of one of Australia's busiest roads: you don't deserve to reach adulthood. Let natural selection do her job.

His organ grinder would grind him on this topic. Peccary is quite consistent in telling people like him to just drive appropriately if you don't want a fine. |

It can't count because it cannot work to base 10 mathematics. But it's not it's fault, after all, with six fingers and six toes on each hand and foot, it's difficult to envisage base 10 math. It might have been more functionally capable if it worked with base 12 math, but I doubt it An IQ of less than that of a fish makes it hard for the poor troll. |
