The Colombian marching powder…

It’s a court ordered disqualification, not a suspension. The difference is before yesterday he could have walked into any TMR office and renewed his licence and day he liked (only his idiocy / arrogance prevented him doing that). Now he can’t renew it for 6 months and THEN he has to go into...

Besides the court fine, he also got an infringement notice for failing to maintain control of a vehicle - the driving on the wrong side of the road bit. From memory the prescribed penalty for that is about $400 odd. Ironically if he didn’t crash and had failed to wear his seatbelt, he’d have...

Some bbq chook and fresh bread and real butter. Amazing.

It’ll be private and paid for by CTP…

It’s not mine. It’s ours… The only thing more ridiculous than the system, is the process one has to go through to try and effect legislative change.

Drugs impair your fine motor skills, regardless of ability to mask said impairment. That is the starting point of all legislation relating to being under the influence of something and driving a vehicle, horse, bicycle, whatever. Alcohol has known effects on the body regardless of alleged...

No. The definition of grievous is long and tedious and the case law ridiculous. Grievous effectively means - all but dead... Even a severed limb might not be enough.

Yep. Damn ginger!

Does your doc have to present an evidentiary certificate for court that is produced and peer reviewed at the one forensic lab in the state?

Yep. 2 different tests. JAC’s was a roadside drug test. The secondary test for that is conducted on a station or van based Draegar drug testing instrument. The whole testing process including transporting to station is completed in tens of minutes depending on the drive. Mam’s was a roadside...

How long should it take?

Amateur hour. If she knew my lawyers, they’d have had the both of them looking worse than Christopher Skase before channel 9 turned up…

They should probably have got a Qld lawyer to speak on this one. Murder or defrauding the Qld government is the only way to get 14 years up here...

You mean it hasn’t been until this point? Sweet baby Jesus, please help us…

People forget these guys are adults. Oh, such and such is 21. Oh he is only 22 / whatever…. They are old enough to drive. To work, to vote, to enjoy all of the privileges that being above the age of 18, affords in our country. They are also entitled to all of the privileges and wealth their...

Jarryd Hayne says hi! (and that his bottom is sore…)

Don’t know who told you that, but such an error wouldn’t even be picked up until a brief was requested, meaning the test would already have been completed and a certificate produced. The onus is then on defence to serve notice on the commissioner they intend to challenge the certificate and...

Eh, I doubt it. If someone died, absolutely. Short of that? Highly unlikely.

Usually for a set period - 6 months, a year. 2 years etc. you can be disqualified absolutely, if your record is bad enough. Disqualified drivers appear in courts nearly every day, so as a deterrent? Not really, but the difference between say - no licence, or an expired licence and a...
