To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly,
We the undersigned petitioners bring to the House’s attention the increase in driving caught with excessive speed.
We therefore request harsher penalties for these offenders.
•First Offence-Confiscate vehicle 30 days. (Whether the driver is the registered owner or not).
Automatic loss of license for 2 years.
•Second/Subsequent Offence-Confiscate vehicle 60 days. (Whether the driver is the registered owner or not).
Automatic loss of license 5 years. Jail term.
We formally request this submission to be considered seriously. These measures will not only address this serious issue on our roads, it will also act as a deterrent to drivers considering speeding.
We hold a very real concern that without these measures, our NSW Road Toll will continue to soar.
We ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the Government to implement harsher penalties for excessive speeding offences, including vehicle confiscation and longer license suspensions.
