- an insurance company hasn't got in touch with me concerning wind screen window replacement. I expected it wouldn't last this long
Can you still drive your car?How long since?In UK if you have window cover as part of your insurance you just make your own arrangements direct with the repair shop. Show your insurance document and pay any excess to the repairers.Quick and simple and usually takes no more than 1 day, so long as they have screen in stock.

If you commit a demerit points offence anywhere in Australia, the demerit points allocated for the offence may be recorded on your traffic history.

From reading post over the last few years what amazes me is that each State seems to have its own rules/laws which can catch out visitors to that State.Ok a lot are common but some States seems to have some unique rule/law all to themselves.Why can't there be 1 set for the whole of OZ then no matter where you are you know what is what and what is not?
How do you know it was your vehicle, I say, prove it
Quote from: 847563 on June 10, 2012, 12:15:13How do you know it was your vehicle, I say, prove it It's easy with a Laser, as opposed to radar, because unless you get a clear uninterrupted line-of-sight "lock" on the target vehicle, you don't get a reading at all.Watching the video below, you can see that. There is one error in obtaining readings and you can hear the audible warning & no reading.Our magistrates over here (and no doubt in other states too) have all been out to sample how the Laser works so they know what they're talking about in court.Once the evidence is given by the police officer as to which vehicle he "locked in" it's pretty difficult to lose a court case.

There have been cases of drivers winning by proving the equipment faulty. IMO, an officer, claiming to have locked on to a speeding vehicle just isn't proof enough. To me, the police have an unfair advantage. If an offence is comitted, the first the driver knows, is when he is pulled over and advised of the offence. At the time of the offence, the driver is unaware of the monitoring of his / her speed and therefore can not produce evidence to mount a defence due to the stealth tactics the police use, eg long range, hiding in bushes, downhill gradients etc. So in this case, if the protection of the law and the presumption of innocence is upheld, how can this be fair and just.
