Double Demerits and Darker Nights

By che 24 March 2005 2

For those that haven’t realised Double Demerit points are being applied to speeding and seat belt offences from midnight last night to I believe midnight Monday night (can anyone confirm this please) taken from this ABC story.

On another note of public announcements I’m told that daylight savings ends this weekend sometime early on Sunday morning. So an extra hour of sleeping in?

Today's Poll

Tensions between cyclists and motorists have flared after another tragic death. Should these be regarded as traffic incidents, or do we need stiffer penalties for deaths and serious injuries?

They're traffic matters: everyone on the roads needs to take responsibility and steer clear of danger
Harsher penalties would remind people this is serious and lives are at risk
