The confusing, convoluted and contradictory regs are designed to make it easier for the user to get tripped up and the CAsA coppers to knock you off. "Safety is what we bash into you with (crippling) Penalty Points"...and for any minor infraction. Even tho the Compliance and Enforcement Manual says that for something 'minor'..if you think you can do it and they dont..you talk about it. Yeah ? Just read the Penalty Notice , is all you'll get.
A recent quote that applies from an article in The Oz from a Social Psychologist....
" Its hard to live around people who are constantly looking for infractions and someone to punish."
With CAsA its faaarking impossible.
And the CAsA Coppers are very good at verballing, BS and twisting the truth to suit their aims. Beware.!
