I noticed when watching the program (im not sure what it was to be certain, a current affair? or some other news like program).
Anyway, my point is, when one of the truckies were caught (with pills and speed in his system), his penalty was:
$200 fine
3 Demerits
12 hours forced rest period.
OH LORDY LORDY, save me!
Your shitting me? Is it really that low? Ive been told from numerous sources, that the penalty for "normal" people, is 12 months loss of license.
Has anyone on here been caught? What was your penalty? Will you do it again? Are you a truckie?
Sorry if this has been covered in the other 12 page thread, it would seem it was pretty broad in topic.
Please fill me in.
I know if im caught, ill be appealing it due to truckies having a different penalty due to it "effecting their livelihood". I don't know many people that, if they lost their license, would be able to continue their lives in the same manor.
