New hoon laws in SA

Careful how far you twist the throttle in SA ....

Or just don't get caught

NSW plus 45kmh , walking for 6 months, effective immediately. Confiscation a big possibility, rego cancelled, can't be rego'd even if sold till end of suspension. Possible $2300 fine, etc, etc.

That's something new on top of these


Then there is the release fee if it gets impounded for a minimum 28 days (most likely will happen at +30kmh), that's just gone up too 

Not sure this will stop the few drongos at the core of these laws who have little , or no regard for laws , but I suppose it will look like steps are being made to stop them . We seem to have had a spate of  incidents here in SA lately with either unlicensed riders , stolen bikes ,or a riders ability far out weighed by their ego and lack of experience  . There seems to be little regard for loss of life or the prospect of being maimed of either themselves , or more importantly other people who get tangled up in their escapades . There is a time and place for everything , but this fact seems to elude some individuals ; they just don't give a shit .

I disagree with monetary fines as I don't think it sends the right message to the offender.

What I think is that community service i.e. roadside rubbish collection is a real inconvenience to the offenders.

Unfortunately the government don't make any money.

NSW - 1600% Increase in under 10kmh speeding fines since removal of signs and markings on roadside camera cars.
" Reducing road toll by up to 40 lives by removal" was the BS spiel.
In my too young to get my L plate days, I was a passenger/pillion of and a unlicensed driver/rider.
Lost licence, again unlicensed driver/ rider till caught, then just unlicensed for a couple of months. Judge said " get caught again, bring your tooth brush".
Many times my ego and imagination have smashed my ability, no major damage, just bent bike, cuts and bruises,
filled undies and a urgent need for a ciggie.
On Cobar trip regularly found out to be 40-50 over, no worries,
a time and place for everything.
Unfortunately roadside rubbish collection costs a fortune by the time you hire traffic control, working briefing etc as required by law.
"Bring your toothbrush" has always been in my head.

Make associated costs i.e. traffic control the responsibility of the offender. and their responsibility.

They will either get a whole new respect for other road users or cease to be a road user themselves.

It's also a great way to create more employment, lots of traffic controllers
