https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/on-the-road/sydney-driver-cops-337-fine-because-passenger-was-using-facetime/news-story/806199b09a31e1d7b507737b7c8b2bb2 This IS a joke and NOT at the same time !!! If I lost my license because a passenger was using their phone for facebook then I would be VERY unhappy !! But I think this whole stupidity episodes with these dumb fines is to stop people using smartphones at all in cars .......... and yet we have GPS screens and my stupid Lexus has Enform which allows my car GPS screen to do searches for petrol, weather updates and reads my emails and SMS messages to me !!!! Like WTF !!!!! I'm legally allowed to **** with the screen which is part of my cars inventory to find fuel and look at the weather BUT my passenger will invoke a $337 fine because they are using facetime or whatever it's called ??? And they say this isn't revenue raising !!! Lying pack of cants
You can dick with your radio, the indicators , the mirrors, the air-con, etc but your passenger uses their phone and the DRIVER cops the fine !!! Fuching ridiculous We should do a go-fund-me for this woman to fight it in court to have it repealed
It's utter BS, what about that **** cop who did the U-turn in front of the truck last week ??!! They are no more special (well I think they are "special" ) than us drivers that have done the advanced driving courses, race lessons, etc I've done the special courses the cops do for vehicles when I was in the air force, for emergency vehicles I hope the woman that got booked sees this thread and uses it for her defense !! 1. apply to have it heard in court 2. set up a gofundme 3. get this stupid law repealed or strip the things out of ALL cars including my dumb Lexus and cop cars
Like most "journalism" today they are probably reporting 10% of what actually happened ie: passenger facetiming and holding phone in line of sight of driver and driver participating in conversation or similar .
Hold it What about people tuning in their radios or iPods or any one of another 100 distractions Have a look at that cop car and it's distractions and tell me that fine is fair Yes I have an axe to grind with cops, particularly QLD cops They can issue a ticket for a car THEY say is too loud without a db meter, pick your Ferrari out of a crowd of cars for speeding when ALL cars are doing the same speed and pulling my GT4 over coming out of Sanctuary Cove when I was number 3 or 4 in a line of more than 10 cars saying I was speeding
The trouble is you don't know how to argue your case. Like others on here, you just cop the injustice and pay the fine.
It's called Tall Poppy Syndrome JM....You'll always stick out of the crowd in that car...Even poor Adrian copped the middle fingers and verbal abuse when you planted it past those Fwits taking up the whole road on their bikes.....In the old days the cops would have pulled you over just to look at your car and talk shop as they were mostly petrol heads....The mentality of the new generation these days is way different....
I'm sick of it I worked bloody hard all my life to get that car and then lowlife give you **** because they don't have one
Exactly. She’s guilty. If anyone believes she wasn’t engaged in the conversation and looking at the phone they’re an idiot.
It is what it is JM....You can't change that mentality....It's what Gerry Springer thrives on........They are just a bunch of Komplient Kants.....
