Vic - Penalty for driving closed tracks

Nobody got done, just having a conversation about it with the guys at work.

Nice photo!!!

Chris...

I'm lookin' at your Rig Pics, and like it's all cordoned off with that plastic tape they use around crime scenes, you know, like in CSI and stuff.

These sites you took photos of, the tapes say trial version. Is that because the sites you photographed are in dispute with the Land Rights Council, and there are trials pending?

Can you please explain???

Thanks Pat

Chris & Ian...off topic....hijackers

Pat, it's a bit difficult tracking down much info but I did come across this:

---------------------
The South Australian unsealed road network is one of the state's greatest assets. These roads are often closed after rain to prevent damage and to ensure the safety of road users. New legislation has increased penalties for motorists travelling on closed roads. The fine is $1250 if caught travelling on a closed road.
---------------------

That's the unsealed rd network. It may be different for a track in the bush.

Sorry, dumb moment, upon reflection it is $1000 wheel in NSW. Last year coming back from the simpson we got caught in rain at milprinka. When we and about 20 other cars thought to make a run for it we were told by police that it was $1000 a wheel.

Patrick

$1,000 per wheel? What is a bloke on a bike pops a mono and drives around? Still a $1,000 fine? ;)

Seriously though - IMHO the bikes do more damage in the hands of a twit that a 4WD. The way they scramble up the steep stuff throwing dirt everywhere is just so much more invasive....

arhh...hehe... I might come around and nick yours :)

So in Vic the going rate depends on the area ?

yeah but do you know what the penalty is for driving on closed tracks in Victoria.

Hey James, how long have you worked for the DUI :)

and why didn't you ask the Ranger we were talking to this morning, I expect he would know. Do I have to remember everything.

Sorry Ray...

I tend to lose all line of rational thinking when someone pokes a gun in the back of my head and SHOUTS ...

"GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND CROSS YOUR ANKLES"

"DON'T MAKE A MOVE"

"iMutsy DO YOU REALLY CALL THESE EGGS RUNNY?"

"I WANTED RUNNY EGGS, SONNY SIDE UP MATE"

and ...

"YOU CALL THIS TOAST?"

"WHEN YOU'VE FINISHED WASHING THE HI-LUX AND THROWING SOME MORE TIMBER ON THE FIRE, GET ME A BEER" a n d HURRY!!!

post up all these things! I mean I think theres only a few blokes here that use the chicks throne regularly.

I was in a park today and the Ranger didn't say a thing about me. He looked imusty up and down though :)

I think he just a magnet for that butch rugged outdoor type.
