True, but you need to think about 'why' these people are unlicensed too....

In Queensland that could be for simply refusing to pay a parking fine. Not sure on the license cancellation laws in other states.

A goodly portion of them could be for speeding; though an even greater portion is likely to be for drink driving which is a far more insidious charge.

I think here in NSW, non payment is usually rego cancellation...but I'm not sure

Although there's a person around here who's a repeat offender.....In the last year he's been caught on PCA while unlicensed about 6 times....

License is suspended now, for about 35 yrs or something....but he won't stop doing it.....

I reckon crushing the car would work though..

.

At least until he acquires a new vehicle; clearly this guy has no intention of obeying these laws.

Politicians and Nappies need to be changed often and for the same reason.

One trouble with political jokes is that they often get elected.

Granted....but the expense 'might' open his eyes a little....or at very least convince his 'friends/family' not to lend him their cars...

Just personally, I'd opt for a gaol sentence until his license restriction runs out.....But that's just me...

A local "pillar of society" in the town near here got done for driving with a suspended license three times (within a month) and received a min sentence of 18 months jail time and a loss of license for 5 years.

The 18 months jail is probably appropriate, but to make it 5 years????
The impact of the 18 month sentence goes beyond him to his family and business. It's not like he's caused any injury or death - he hadn't even broken any other road rules apart driving with a suspended sentence.

Well maybe they were 'hinting' that driving while suspended incurs a further lose of license...and AFTER he does the 18 months.....it'd be a good idea NOT to drive during the suspension???

Once again....it seems that extreme action is needed to get the point across....

After all, most people understand that if you stick your ....finger....in a powerpoint, you get shocked....but very few people have the same understanding of legal penalties....

Reply #19 - Sep 13^th, 2010 at 7:02pm I'm pretty certain that in NSW there's a mandatory 6 months jail if you get caught driving twice whilst under the same suspension (or an extension of it).

Not that I've seen...it 'might' be a maximum of 6 months gaol....

Cause it sure doesn't happen very often around here....
