I believe they were wanting to fine tune the law so that the vehicle to be confiscated is the driver's own personal vehicle. Thus any company vehicles would be exempt or unsold vehicles. The police would instead confiscate the car of the driver if he/she currently has one.

Yep, but with the *current* law where ever that vehicle ends up it get confiscated regardless

Yeah it would be pretty sucky that's for sure. But then I'd be heading for the dealership and demanding a replacement and that they pay the cost to get the car back.

Just wondering about the proposed changes... what happens if two rev heads with two cars and no clue were to pick a secluded road and tear it up in each other's car? For argument's sake.

It's simple... as with every other law leave police to use their discretion.

Reports of it going through the Chatham islands of NZ at 0.5m or so. By the time it gets to the east coast it will probably be just manifesting as weird behaviour over sandbars and unususal rips like the last one.

Yeah, it was just reported on Sunrise as expecting 50cm bodyboarding waves on our east coast. Not so lucky in Chile.

ABC News online wrote:Police have fined a 90-year-old drink-driver caught speeding in Melbourne's north-east.
They say they clocked the man doing 83 kph in a 60 zone on Thompsons Road in Lower Templestowe last night.
Poolice say he blew nearly three times over the legal alcohol limit, with a reading of 0.112.
Jeesh the older generation these days...

I wondered why that was there. My wife still plays it on Windows
I was in a shop in the last day or three that was selling those coffee table games
Can't think where it was now. Might have been PLE?
