Who is more evil those who write unfair laws or those who uphold them?
I am referring to the new P plate laws that have recently come in.
Their is now a $184 penalty and a loss of 2 demerit points for any P plater caught driving without:
- Clearly displaying P plates on the front and rear of the vehicle.
Case….
1) Joshua van Aalst hops in his car to drive from Vaucluse to Surry Hills.
2) The car has P plates on both the front and rear.
3) He drives over the Bondi Junction overpass at 80kph.
4) On Oxford St he is pulled over by a police officer doing random breath testing.
5) The officer requests his license which states he is a P-Plater.
6) The officer checks the rear of the car and notices that their is no P-plate.
7) Joshua van Aalst states that the P-plate must have fallen off during the journey and that he has a spare in the car.
The officer fines Joshua van Aalst $184 and 2 demerit points.
The above is a simple case where upholding the new P plate laws is clearly out of the drivers’ hands. It is pretty much pure luck that when a P plater sets out on a journey he does not arrive at his/her destination with a fine and 2 demerit points.
