    Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Section 2

    Infringement offense means any offense under any act in respect of which a person may be proceeded against by way of infringement notice.

    So, infringement offenses are offenses. Just offenses you can get an instant fine for.

    Careless Driving is an offense you can't get an instant fine for, and if you get found guilty, a conviction is entered against your name. It's not an infringement.

    If you get a seatbelt infringement and defend it, and get found guilty, you don't get a conviction. You get "ordered to pay a fine" and thats a legal expression.

    It's all playing with words, and means bugger all.

    Anyone that does will know that he did in fact, sign up. Chap is from Nepal ( I think). He's a friend of mine so I say as nicely as possible, all this highlights one thing, he actually was careless. He admits it.

    So although I am clearly outwitted, I have not overthought it. He needs to stick to simple respect and humility, to get as light a sentence, as such a good bugger deserves.
    Thanks bro. Appreciate the kind words. :-)

    Yep, I am a Nepali.

    Can someone (a lawyer, a police officer or someone with experience with these matters) please help me out with legal advice on what I can do or can't do and how i can prepare for the court? Is there anywhere where I can look up the penalties for careless driving?

    Thank you.
    lets see you so excited that john key back in office as pm your wrist sliped and front wheel left the ground.

    Oh you vote green party ,so that you keeping your greenhouse gas foot print lower by riding on the back wheel

    Whew, good to see SOMEBODY is doing something you agree with.

    I suggest you become a lecturer as the 'police academy' and teach other cops 'some law'...

    The cop must have been a real asshole to charge someone over a trivial offence such as a wheelie.

    oh come on Figgy Jam.
