    Fine for running out of gas...

    RNZ news this hour...

    AA says it should be an offense to run out of gas on the Auckland motorway - or any other motorway in NZ as well...

    Yet another crime invented...

    that's lame!! might aswell make it an offense to break down on the motorways too! After all, it's as much your fault to make sure you have gas as it is to make sure everything is running ok! ...muppets!

    It is already on the Bridge. There's a fistful of nails and some room left in the coffin...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Not the AA's idea. It's the cops behind it. Harold has details

    Not been an offence on the AHB since the abolished the AHBA (in 1984 apparently).

    Used to be, and a very heavy fine.

    If you DID run out of fuel, you had better make sure that you disabled the electrics before the Gypsy got you. "No officer, plenty of fuel, it's my electrics are gone, see, no lights , no nothing". A suitable connector in an obscure but reachable place.

    fuckin stupid. lets make it illegal to not have your headlight on or talk on your cellphone, oh wait it is illegal. dont know what isnt now. a fine aint gonna stop it happening because people do not want to run out of gas anyway. like "shit, a fine, i wont let my gas run out next time, because i usually dont mind"
    Thats whats up.

    I thought it was 'carelessness' if you ran out of gas on the motorway, and you were fined.

    Seen it quite a few times on HP telly...
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    How bloody hard is it for some of you useless bastards to make sure you have enough gas!!! Should be a fine IMO.

    Isn't running out of fuel stopping?
