Just as bad as getting a ticket for having a For Sale sign on your car - classed as a Movable Sign? What about those cars with company logos?

Governments and Councils have gone mad!

What a joke!

[typevu]

That is quite silly.

if you read it closely they only know the car was photographed with wedding ribbons on so incase it was getting used for profit or as a unregistored business they have sent a letter, if it was a case of just helping out family or a friend then that is fine

Not sure I believe that. Sounds like they're backpedalling with a piss weak excuse.

I'd like to see a copy of the formal letter they're sending, just to clarify. But if it is how it sounds, they really do need to get a fkn life!

yeah gay

what a f**king joke.

simple as that.

things going a little too far now?

Its all crap. They have to rewrite the whole act.

According to the act and the transport minister if you drive from here to melb with a mate and you split the cost of fuel then you can get charged.

GG gov.

[Krishy]

another one of those rules by our lovely dictator i mean premier Sir RANTAKESSALOT

[R33 Sleeper]

I will laugh if someone actually got pinned for this, cant see it happening

Australian laws regarding vehicles have to be the bloody worst in the world.

Our government is full of tight ass f**k heads that will fine you for anything now.

Every other country seems to be so relaxed about vehicle laws, I don't get why this country makes a car owner feel like a damn murderer.

I swear to god I could cut my neighbours head off with a kitchen knife and face less penalty than if I went onto a main intersection of the town and did one donut at 1am.

What a joke!!! that is so stupid, believe the government I think the government is broke because they are doing anything they can to squeeze money out of people now. What pathetic excuse to get money. I pick up my friends parents and my friend all the time does that mean I am running a transport passenger service. Man the government is losing the plot!!!!!!

Reminds me of the new outdoor drinking laws where a guy was drinking outside a licenced premises in Rundle Street.

He was sitting down and drinking a beer but when he stood up, a cop passing by booked him because he was still holding the glass.

Cop told him the glass must remain on the table when you're not seated...........well how do you get the glass of beer out there in the first place then????

[Madaz]

lol take the table in when you order more beers

[Iron Chef]

lol read the lame excuse given by the Minister for Transport..."This is just really about ensuring public safety if some of these vehicles are going out, [ensuring] that some of these vehicles are roadworthy."

Uh huh, so using them for a wedding means they're somehow more unroadworthy than other cars on the road??

[SLED]

yeah it's bureaucracy gone mad!!

+1 Its friggin stoopid, Australian road laws are so unbalanced im suprised you cant get a fine for farting in your car with the windows down. At this rate maybe its the next thing on the list.

As for cutting your neighbours head off, you dont get demerit ponts for that.
