Not obeying the law and being a part of speeding offences can harm you and your passenger that are with you. Teens are the highest number of violaters for this particular traffic offense. These offences cause higher accidents then almost any others.

Driving faster than the legal limits can endanger you and people who are innocent bystanders. Serious injuries can be caused due to these unsafe driving practices. How would you feel if you actually killed another person just because you could not adhere to the speeding limits posted?

Once caught speeding the officer can do one of two things. They can hand out a citation or give you a set date for court which you must then appear at to take care of your fines.

If you get caught going way over the legal posted limit them you will face serious criminal type charges and will be taken in and booked at the station.

You will then face a judge and they will determine whether you can keep your driving license or whether it should be suspended at that time for a certain amount of time. They may also make you take a driving course for safety and you will have to pay a larger fine as well.

Adults should be aware of their surrounding as well as the speedometer when driving as well as the younger teenage drivers. This will help to prevent injuries and insure everyone gets to where their going safely. People who take it a little slower on the roads may get their just a little slower but they will arrive with their passengers unharmed and able to spend time with their loved ones instead of in a hospital or worse.

Do not put everyone at risk when driving, be able to follow the driving laws. They are their for everyone’s safety. Those who get speeding offences should be held accountable for their actions and country’s and states should make these even harsher to get the point across.

It is an offence to drive a motor vehicle without a certificate of insurance in place covering you to drive that vehicle on that occasion.

The offence of driving without insurance is taken very seriously by the Magistrates Court due to the possible implications if you were to crash.

For you to be found guilty of driving without insurance, the Prosecution only has to prove that you were indeed using the car on a public road at the time in question and it is down to you to prove that you had insurance, its not down to them to prove that you didn’t. This is because it would be nearly impossible fort the prosecutors to go to every insurance company in the country and check that you weren’t insured, and so you must provide valid documentation that proves you were insured, or you will be found guilty.

One of the most common ways in which people get caught out with the no insurance law is that they may not actually drive the car, but the law states that you only have to have use of the vehicle in order to be liable for punishment under the no insurance law. Having use of the vehicle can simply mean having the vehicle parked on a public road outside your house and if it is not insured, then you can be prosecuted.

Another way in which many people get caught out with the no insurance law is when they believe that their fully comprehensive insurance policy covers them to drive other peoples cars with their permission. A lot of the time, fully comprehensive cover does not actually include this in the policy.

It is of the utmost importance that you full understand and have read everything in you insurance policy. You must ensure that whenever you go to drive your own vehicle, or someone else’s that you are indeed covered and are legally allowed to be driving that vehicle at that time.

Where driving without due care and attention used to be something of a defence, it is now far more of an offence. Momentary lapses of concentration are no longer an excuse in a court of law, in fact, in some instances; it can be enough to land you in jail.

Organisations such as MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) have been lobbying for this change in the law for a long time and now different parts of the country have varying levels of punishments for the offences depending on the severity of the results of the careless driving.

What is surprising is that people dont really seem to take driving without due care and attention very seriously. In fact, people seem to side with the offenders and advise them on how to avoid their punishment. In an online forum we found one case where a man was charged for wheel-spinning his car on gravel by going very fast and kicking up lots of dust and gravel. The officer that charged him says in his report that there was a petrol pump nearby and it was open, and so could have caused a large accident and many potential injuries. The question he put on the forum was that if he could prove that the petrol pump was closed would that benefit his case in any way. And surprisingly, dozens of people replied with advice about how to get out of the charge and how to prove that something in the officers report was wrong!

Every year there are thousands of deaths or serious injuries on the roads as a result of negligent driving and we dont really take notice. Tens of thousands of people lose their licences every year because of careless driving, at least temporarily and many of them just turn up back behind the wheel without a valid licence! Even though the people in the surrounding neighbourhood may well know about it, most people will not pull them up on it, and this is what causes most of the motoring offences on our roads.

Though driving without due care and attention is a relatively lower ranking offense when compared to drunk driving or cell phone driving, it still is one of the biggest causes for accidents, and needs to be addressed with greater authority.
