Now we all know that the traffic offences are extremely stiff in this country. With money fines for almost anything else you do besides driving in the car. Lets put one particular offence in the spotlight. Using the phone while driving. Now the fine is a steep 1000 bucks and 12 demerit points. This fine has been put in place due to a case that happened a few years back which caused a driver to ram his car into a bus stop while using his phone( if my memory serves me well). Anyway, the reason why the traffic fellows do not want you to be using the phone while driving is simple. You are not giving the road and your fellow road users your 100 percent attention. So I say lets save a 1000 dollars. Use the wireless headset. How bout dancing while driving? Haha.
IF you dont buckle up in the car, you get a 150 dolllars fine and 3 demerit points as well. Wow. If your passengers dont buckle up, you still get the points.
Driving in the bus lane can put you back by 600 dollars. Wow. Ok.
So as a driver for the past 3 years, I guess its time to give a damn for all these offences coz of the money involved alone. You as well. Lets not give the govt free money la.
