Road rules and other than public roads

Perhaps because traffic 'offences' are just fund raisers, whereas
drink driving is actually a crime?


GB, the state of NSW claims that drink driving is a crime, haven't
actually bothered to check if it is or not. JL?

 

Sorry, I should have said that the practice of adverse possession, such as I
quoted, has been stopped

 

Shows how much you know about anything moike
I acquired a tract of land a few yearas ago through adverse possession
so I do have first hand knowledge of it
But, if you cared to read other posts after the one above,
then you will see that I did say that I thought that adverse possession was
no longer in existence

 

Yeah - it was a bit that way. But was amazing countryside. Jeffles
knew where to take me off the normal tourist routes. Some amazing
little places.

 

If you don't like what the courts says you can always appeal and listen
to what another court says. How can you trust a system so interently
bad that they have a whole system of appeal built in.

Not under the Crimes Act (although it's an aggravation on a dangerous
driving charge - S.52A)

But

Road transport (etc) act 1999 has offences and penalties, given there's
gaol time for a mid range PCA second offence I guess the answer is yes.
On the other hand it's a summary offence heard in a local court not an
indictable one heard in a higher court and not triable by jury. Given
S580E of Crimes act abolished the difference between felony and
misdemeanour (in NSW) and made them minor and serious indictable and
it's neither of those then maybe no...

Halsbury's just notes that it's an offence.

Butterworth's Legal dictionary calls it a crime but that's hardly
conclusive.

On balance I'd say definitely yes for the non common law crimes states
(errm there's probably a better way of wording that); for NSW Vic and SA
probably but not totally clear.

Of course I could be wrong - I've not covered it in any subject I've
done yet.
