So since rego, licence breach etc fines were reduced in $$$ value how is it going to make those who couldn't pay fines suddenly able to afford to pay them???Originally Posted by SMOKEU
All that happens is the loser takes twice as long to get to $10,000 in fines...

They can't, but demerits have increased to stop people from having the opportunity to gather such high numbers of infringements/fines.So since rego, licence breach etc fines were reduced in $$$ value how is it going to make those who couldn't pay fines suddenly able to afford to pay them???

The kind of people who rack up that much don't care and will drive regardless of demerits

Pretty much. Same goes for repeat drunk drivers etc.

Fixing the road would have been my 1st choice, but at the end of the day it is cheaper to post up new lower limits.
I drive this road often & the parts they have lowered the limit on are in poor condition & in desperate need of replacing. Will that happen??[/QUOTE]
No, not now that they've "fixed" the problem with lower speeds!!

"Courts axe $95m in unpaid fines...
...The biggest amount in fines accrued - not remitted - by an individual or company so far this financial year is the $12,488 owed by a 25-year-old Auckland man for traffic offences..."
QED.
Just faidin away!
Meanwhile, honest law-abiding citizens are forced into becoming criminals by disregarding the requirements of law such as registration and warrants of fitness etc in order to get by!
Once you are a criminal the only thing that changes is the degree of criminality and how often you come to the attention of "the authorities"! (Currently measured in $$$$$)
Incremental change in human behaviour is the silent killer that allowed the Nazi party to gain a foothold in Germany and we know now what joy that brought to the world!
Using selected positive incremental change to mask a disproportionate raft of negative incremental change is the oldest trick in the book!
Consecutive governments (irrespective of colour or code) have been doing this to effect control and remove individual freedoms of the people of this country since "government" was introduced!
Yesterdays change is tomorrows norm and gradually the population accepts the changes as the way that things have always been and just get on with life as best they can!
Yes, "State Highway One" could well become totally 80kph or less and double yellow lined from one end to the other!
At the current rate of incremental change ... how long do you think that will take?

Na reckon they'll skip the yellow paint & go straight for a top to bottom cheese cutter solution on the main roads

They aren't being forced to do anything, they're making a choice to do it, rego and wof would be $13-15 a week, most people would spend more than that on beer or smokes or other crap they dont need

Depends on your perspective, discretionary dollars are not that forthcoming when you have fade out and die end of life plan already in action!
The depreciating purchasing power of the dollar increases with every election but accelerates beyond reason with every change of government!
Plan for the future and "save! ..... What a lode of bullshit!
Plan and save for the future so that "they" can get at your money more easily without even having to ask! .... Just tell you it's gone and they want "more", soon!
