Woo Hoo! Finally A Reward For Safe Driving!

[xRHETTx]

Hey all,

Just saw on the vicroad website that they have introduced a safe driver reward scheme whereby you get a 25% discount on your license renewal when you have received no demerit points for the preceeding 3 years.

Finally Vicroads have opened their eyes and have started rewarding good, safe driving not just punishing bad, dangerous drivers. My years of safe driving have paid off!

Oh a look...

9. How is the Driver Reward Scheme being funded?

The Driver Reward Scheme is being funded entirely from speed camera and red light camera fines.

Cool as.

Awesome.

[dezz]

is this in already? how long has it been in?

haley just got off her p's about a month ago, and dont think she's ever been booked....she didnt mention any discount though..

i get off my p's in jan....and no points lost so far!

[GTAAAH]

Its good that there doing it out of revenue's raised from speeding fines. Some of those things raise absurd amounts of money and are highly innacurate.

How much is a licence renewal anyways?

[inark]

its only like 46 dorra innit? so who really cares.

i think this has been in since 1904.. i remember seeing it on the news

[Paradizzle]

Best thing since sliced bread.

Small reward for the massive income from Speed Camera's.

If it was 25% off registration & licence renewal... THEN i would say good on them.

$30 off a 10 year licence really isnt much of a reward when you think about how much $30 gets you... not even half a tank of fuel in some cases.

[inark]

i agree ash... i think a discount on the ALWAYS increasing rego is a better and more just "reward"

[R31Nismoid]

Ye.

Make it scaled to a "capped" limit or something

2 years - 10%

3 years - 15%

4 years - 20%

5 years - 25% and subsequent years

That IMO would be FAR more effective, FAR more rewarding and gives people an incentive to work towards

[Bec]

Your a thinker Ash.

Send a letter to VicRoads.

lol, i was just gonna say it 25% off fook all

Run for president of the United State of Australia 2

USA2 for short.

[R31Nismoid]

If i was boss of Vic i tell ya what the way the Vic Pol is run would be turned upside down and get fairness back into the State rather than discrimination.

But meh... a $30 looks good and is easily funded.

Imagine taking approx $140 off for good behaviour... that would STING the gov't to the extent it wouldnt be worth fining people that werent so good...

[Mean_R34]

All the saem, $30 is $30.

I just renewed my licence for another 10yrs about 3 weeks ago.

i like this proposal...it would put me in a profitable postion...however the current proposal is nothing but an insult really...is there an election coming up or something...
