    You will be awarded a small medal to wear on your tunic.

    As said previously, if a cop points a firearm at you, stay veeeeerrrry still... as there's a 100% probability he'll hit something near you!

    You tell me? I haven't mentioned the merger and don't really know anything about it to be honest. Before my time.

    Can't say I've really put any serious thought into it but I guess a separate dept for 'road safety' makes sense on as many levels as it doesn't.

Then he overtook other riders on a blind crest. Idiot.
    Yeah demerits for no rego in the name of safety are a laugh. Shows the state of the system and says a lot about the officers that choose to enforce that rule too.

    Isn't registration how we identify vehicle owners? So if someone is driving dangerously, how do we identify them if the registration isn't up to date? In a hit and run it's probably the only way to track anyone down, so maybe there is a safety element – just another way to look at it.

    aww, go on bro! I'll shout you a jug haha

    Sorry I need more coffee/to go to specsavers, you said vehicle owners rather than drivers anyway. When sold it's up to the seller and the buyer to fill out the details. Technically you could buy a car with 12 months rego, have neither the buyer or seller fill out the appropriate forms and rock about in it.

    No. Maybe my ride to work is to early for the local cops to be out of bed.
