Fines for 4WD Road Damage

The fines are a joke, they should seize their vehicles and get the word out, if you enter a prohibited area, your vehicle will become state property.

Bill them for the cost of the helo retrieval as well.

Here in SA I understand it is $1000.00 per tyre on or off vehicle if driving on a closed road / track, the damage these folks made amounted to a lot more than that but the fines would have been a lot more in line with the general responsible 4x4 drivers expectations I'm sure.

There is always more to a story ?
There may not have been signs prohibiting entry?
They have gained access through a fire trail, but may not have known NOT to ?
Or, they may have known exactly what they were doing was illegal…..we’ll never know.
