Regularly we see equipment and materials laying on or beside roadways due to unsecured or inappropriately secured loads. This places other motorists at risk of vehicle damage and even life-threatening situations.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to increase penalties to 4 demerit points and $1,000 fines for those in breach. This copies the recent increase in penalties for using a mobile phone whilst driving as it also potentially places motorists in life-threatening situations.
