My wife got pulled over by the cops today
Car was unregistered
My licence had been cancelled
They refused to let her drive anywhere until outstanding fines had been paid
I knew nothing about them
They’d been contacting an old address
900$ of speeding fines from the last 6/12 months
Good reminder: it’s a pay to play system friends
You pay us. You carry on
You don’t pay us. You’re stuck
After 40 mins of bouncing around service NSW on the phone, I was able to find out why my car was de-registered, and why my licence was cancelled, and ultimately what I had to pay to make the problem go away
$900 aud…
I don’t even know the details of each breach as they couldn’t tell me
Plus I’ve picked up 5 demerit points, which is yet another “get some more of these and you’re banned”
Obviously the state is better informed to judge the speed with which a father should drive his family around on a road…
“You have the freedom to move”
Until you don’t…
