Re: SA Police WARNING
Gee Jon you are funny. Have you ever seen taxes go down. If they cant get money from one area they will just have to find another or put existing fines up.
Our Government system works on FINING people.
We the public are their to keep them in the way they want to be.
More revenue more money for the fat cats to retire and/or just increase their wages.
Police have very little to do with old fashion policing now it is chasing the little man, serious crooks are too hard to pin down and process through courts.Traffic fines etc are usually on the spot, if they cant get you they can make it up as most dont contest, just accept and pay and the copper increases his tally and therefore his K points.

SA Police News
Yesterday at 12:43 ·
Hundreds of vehicles were issued with defect notices yesterday as police targeted roadworthiness as part of the ongoing Traffic Thursday road safety campaign.
Thousands of cars were checked by police across the state, with a total of 460 defect notices issued, 29 motorists were cautioned for breaching vehicle standards, while 16 were issued with expiation notices for either Driving Contrary to a Defect Notice or Breaching Vehicle Standards.
Superintendent Robert Gray, the officer in charge of the Traffic Support Branch, said in addition to those motorists stopped and spoken to by police, the topic had generated lively debate on social media channels, further encouraging people to consider whether their own vehicle was fit for purpose.
“We know that roadworthiness and defects can be a contentious issue for some members of the motoring public, but at its heart this is a matter of road safety,” he said.
“An alarming number of people on social media outed themselves as knowingly having and driving vehicles that they know are potentially defectable.
“These people are knowingly putting themselves and other road users at risk – a decision I find abhorrent.
“Bald tyres, broken lights, worn brakes and a range of other issues are not minor matters, they are faults that lead to crashes, serious injuries and people dying.
“To those that have an issue with a defect notice being issued to them yesterday, I simply say road safety is everyone’s responsibility.
“Having a vehicle and a driver’s licence is not an automatic right, it is a privilege, and I want to thank every member of the community who took the time yesterday to examine their vehicle and make sure it was roadworthy.”
He said every member of the Major Crash Investigation Branch had, at some time in their career, had to speak with families who had suffered terrible losses as a direct result of mechanical failure causing a crash.
“The roadworthiness of vehicles plays a crucial part in safety for all of us,” he said.
“A roadworthy vehicle is one that complies with standard vehicle requirements including wheels and tyres, steering, brakes, seatbelts, lamps and reflectors, exhaust and emission controls, windscreens and wipers and vehicle body and chassis.”
NOTES:
A driver or an operator of a light vehicle in breach of light vehicle standards can be issued with a Traffic Infringement Notice (TIN) for $408 (plus a $60 Victims of Crime Levy).
The TIN for driving or selling a light vehicle contrary to a defect notice is $583 (plus a $60 Victims of Crime Levy) or for defacing, altering, obscuring or removing a defect notice is $408 (plus a $60 Victims of Crime Levy).
What happens when a vehicle is defected:
• When a vehicle is defected the driver will be instructed to either present the vehicle to a nominated police station, or to contact DPTI to arrange a date and time for a defect inspection.
• The police may choose to clear minor defects such as lights, tyres, horn or wipers but they will not clear defect notices that have been directed to DPTI for a more detailed inspection.
• If an owner/driver is told to take a defected vehicle to the police for inspection, they will check if the defected items have been attended to. If they are satisfied the faults have been rectified, they may remove the defect notice from the vehicle.
• However, if the police determine there are still faults present, or they notice further faults not listed on the defect notice, they may re-defect the vehicle or they can refer the vehicle to DPTI for a full roadworthiness inspection.
• Within the metropolitan area of Adelaide, inspections of serious defects (for example brakes, steering or suspension) and all other roadworthiness inspections, are undertaken at DPTI’s Vehicle Inspection Station at Regency Park or at Lonsdale.
• Inspectors examine the entire vehicle to make sure it is safe to be driven on the road. This means inspecting all components that affect the safety of the owner/driver, passengers, and other road users.
• They also inspect the vehicle to ensure it meets environmental requirements for exhaust emissions, noise and other items required by the Vehicles Standards Rules.
It will be stipulated on the defect notice the amount of time that the vehicle may be used. Once that time expires, it can only be driven to and from the places of repair or inspection. Vehicles with defect notices marked 'Lift Tow’ may not be driven on the road until repaired.
