The failed law in Victoria, Australia

by admin on December 21, 2011

Apparently no matter of orders make a difference in Victoria.

Take for example the above.

I don’t have a perfect driving record: I ran a red light and was caught speeding about 3 years ago, just after I moved here. Let me tell you that I’ve never done it again. Have I got the odd small speeding fine and parking fine before that: yes, but I don’t believe I’m bad.

But apparently in this state, VicRoads can take on any old vexatious complaint and pursue it.

I will keep my license, but the mere fact that it’s free game for anyone to make a complaint like this is BS.

They say batter up, but in my case it’s lawyer up.

And enough is enough. Time to make representations to my member of Parliament as well.

    To be fair, there are situations where you might want to
    report someone who really shouldn’t be driving.  Case in point: I have a
    somewhat elderly uncle who loves cars and driving, they mean everything to him.
     A little while back he had a stroke and
    whilst he’s mostly recovered there is definitely no question that he shouldn’t be
    driving – he can randomly temporarily lose control of his hands, for example (it’s rare, but it does happen).

     

    Clearly his license needed to be revoked but if he were
    ever to find out that it was us who reported him to VicRoads, he would never
    forgive us and probably break off all contact with us – driving means that much to him. After we notified VicRoads they
    sent a letter much like that to him; his doctor filled out the questions and ultimately
    VicRoads cancelled the license based on that report.

     

    I have no doubt that the notice there was issued to you
    in error (perhaps someone maliciously filed a complaint?), but consider the
    alternative: In my case, had VicRoads had a policy of naming the accuser and/or
    reason we simply wouldn’t have notified VicRoads of our uncle’s medical
    condition. Fast forward six months and let’s say he was driving by a primary
    school and he lost control of his hands resulting in him running over and
    killing a child.  Whose fault would that
    be? I don’t really have an answer to that, but regardless VicRoad’s policy may
    have saved a life.

     

    That said, you’d hope that VicRoads would follow up the
    person who reported you and take action against them if you complete the medical
    evaluation and it’s clear that there was nothing ever wrong with you and there’s
    no reasonable reason why someone would think so.
