'No point hanging on to defunct driver's licence,' I said to myself, 'recycle the plastic; send it to the AG!'
- & so I did, up at the Newtown Post Office earlier today.
All things considered one less car on the road isn't a bad thing but the 'procedural unfairness' underpinning this whole 'bicycle-helmet-victims-compensation-levy' episode is!
...never liked the photo anyway
Sue,
ReplyDeleteI think you should read this:

Section 17, 1, c definitely applies to you given that there is an error in the penalty notice ($67 vs $64). I think the mechanism for getting this looked at is the SDRO review process (on their website), it costs $50 to submit a review.
You might also consider section 123; it seems you can also appeal to the Governor for mercy, as they have the power to have your fine cancelled.
Great-stuff!! - thanks for that, Dan!
