If you think about it our road laws turned to revenue raising around the same time we started to accept muslim lebanese into this country in the early 80's.

I know, right? AIDS was discovered too. And if I remember correctly, Azaria Chamberlain went missing in the 80s. I never bought that dingo story.

Arabs are evil, dude.

Only whimpy government stooges would recommend obeying stupid laws when it's possible to ignore them.

Couldn't expect much better from a self-absorbed bludger who, although claims he is comfortably off, feels he should be reimbursed 10 fold for the few taxes he paid in a lifetime for services he took for granted. Go live in a country that has no infrastructure... If nothing else you'll feel more justified in refusing to pay taxes.

How can you call someone such names, when you have no idea who he/she maybe. It could be your neighbour.
A lot of insults flying around this subject.

Which bit of the social contract covers YOUR responsibilities??

There isn't one that I have ever agreed to.

Not even the bit about paying you for being you?

You may as well be speaking Greek to an Eskimo. Leeches don't feel the need even to thank their hosts for the blood, let alone give some back.

I got a $391 fine for running a yellow light two seconds after the light turned yellow. I took it up with the courts to just have the infringement notice removed out of a sense that the officer did not give enough time for me to react and stop over a distance of 20 metres. The magistrate acted like Helen Keller and claimed that there was enough evidence to say that I could have stopped within 1.5 seconds (and other things that meant that I was done on a technicality). My fine did not change and I had to pay court costs and some SPERS revenue-raising bs.

I can only hope that someone uses that $570 of that fine to put up a camera on that intersection so that other people do not get done for quota cops' need for relevancy during a quiet night on a public holiday.

They also say I need to change my attitude. Tongue

Had I plead guilty for my infringement notice, I would have just had to pay $391 and 3 demerit points. But, I went all in and found that the magistrate was willing to overlook the fact that I caught her running a yellow light less difficult circumstance to stop for in her situation. The result was a $220 addition to my fine.

No magistrate would give a person a hard time over a guilty plea. You save the court time and money if you plead guilty. What irritates me is if the courts get presented a situation where an 18 y.o. driver gets involved in a traffic crash (which she causes), but gets away with a conviction as it was her first crash.

I would never cross the line working in the therapy industry.
His sister outside of the industry that needs therapy is a different matter. Wink
