I'm reluctant to pass judgement without knowing the full circumstances of the trial, and only those who were in the court or have a record of the transcript would know the full circumstances, but it does seem a rather mild response to a totally stupid/potentially deadly thing to have done.

Only disqualified from driving (in Victoria) for three months. One of the defence lawyers said "It was a moment of stupidity that no one at the time knew the consequences to,". Really? No one would know the consequences of such a dangerous action? What a lovely legal system.misterhorsey wrote:$3000 fines each for the unprovoked assaults.

And unlike the QLD truckie they pleaded guilty. Still not much consolation for the victim.Comedian wrote:That's more than you get in QLD for running over a killing a cyclist with a cement truck! Good outcome.

When did this occur? Do you have a link to this agreement? As far as I knew, the Australian Road Rules have no legal force, and I just checked the site http://www.ntc.gov.au/viewpage.aspx?documentid=00794, which says "As 'model laws', however, they have no legislative force of their own.".jcjordan wrote:Under the new Australian Road Rules disqualified drivers, regardless of state of license or origin of disqualification will be recognized by all states.

jcjordan is close enough for internet purposes, but as VRE suggests, it is more complicated, with each state implementing the agreement in their own laws & regulations & yes it depends upon the particular offence - see for example section 15(1)(a) of the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Act 1998 (NSW) and regulations 42, 60, 99 and Schedule 1 of the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2008 (NSW).VRE wrote:When did this occur?

I can't be more specific as there is no information as to the particular offence the driver was charged with (recklessly causing serious injury is not a traffic offence & does not come with a licence suspension). Similarly it depends on where the driver was licenced - Victoria, another Australian state or territory, New Zealand or internationally.

Akl the states and territories had to agree on implementation of the laws to get most of the Commonwealth road funding from 2010VRE wrote:When did this occur? Do you have a link to this agreement?

"Court awards Merc a perk
15 May 2013. The driver of a luxury Mercedes, who had been convicted of recklessly causing serious injury to a bike rider, was given a day's grace by the Geelong Magistrates Court to drive back to South Australia before the cancellation of his licence came into effect.
Lee Clifford, 35, of Streaky Bay, in South Australia, was behind the wheel of the Mercedes 4WD when he and his passenger, Timothy Wall, 32, of Paraparap, hatched a plan to attack two women cyclists riding along Horseshoe Bend Road.
Wall placed his upper body out of the window to strike the first cyclist as the vehicle passed, and although he missed, the attempt caused the rider to fall, dislocating her shoulder.
He then struck the second rider, but she was able to remain upright.
The two men pleaded guilty to three charges relating to the incident on September 24 last year, including recklessly causing serious injury, and were each fined $3000.
The men drove off after the incident, claiming they were not aware that a rider had fallen and was injured.
Magistrate Stephen Myall also disqualified Clifford from driving in Victoria for three months, but the he delayed the period by a day to allow Clifford to travel back to SA.
