A Sydney P-plater has copped fines totalling $3,568 after he was caught performing a common driving act unsafely. The 18-year-old overtook another car on Campbell Hill Rd at Guildford, west of the CBD, about 8.45pm last Friday — but several other factors made the manoeuvre illegal. He was fined for crossing a double white line, travelling more than 45kph over the speed limit, and “overtaking when unsafe”, police said.
The teenager had his provisional licence suspended for six months and his plates confiscated for three months. But netizens online believe the penalty did not go far enough. “The court should impose 12-month suspensions. We probably all did some dumb things when on P-plates and after obtaining a full licence, but this is bordering on criminal,” one person wrote. “Until consequences are increased, these people will not decrease unsafe behaviour,” another wrote.
