The old removing your helmet trick

[BikerBoy]

A public road is defined by the law as being anywhere that the general public are expected to drive and ALL associated laws apply, regardless of private land ownership.

So that means my driveway is a "public road", right? And that also means that when I stand next to my Hilux while I'm filling it up, I must wear my seatbelt because I'm (according to your tenuous definition of the word) "operating" the vehicle?
I don't think so.
By your definition, a privately owned parking building is also "a public road".

From the Public Roads Act 1902

road includes any land proclaimed, dedicated, resumed or otherwise
provided before or after the passing of this Act, as a public
thoroughfare or way and, in sections 18 to 20, also includes any land
defined, reserved or left, before or after the passing of this Act, as a
road in any subdivision of land of the Commonwealth or New South
Wales

Looks like Rainbow7 is back!!!!!! Oh how we missed you.

Get a grip on what your saying, understand the fact that not all vehicle laws apply to 'vehicles' in a general term so no you are not expected to wear a seatbelt while filling up (is that even possible??), no your driveway is not a public road, have you even given a simple thought that THE ROAD ACT OF 1902 HAS BEEN UPDATED!!!! mind you possibly not all states, but it has definitely been updated in Vic. We no longer have Horse and Cart either. Actualy even the road act of 1902 is somewhat correct to what I said. I can't believe your quoting a Public Roads Act from 1902. f*** that's funny.

Let me apologise for not being a lawyer, Barrister, Solicitor, Prosecutor, Clerk or coffee bitch in any law firm so NO I can not quote exact specific laws off the top of my head with accurate wording, I may make them a bit general until, like I said previously can access and quote the SPECIFIC law and possibly even if you want provide documentation of some cases which were heard in a Magistrates Court that apply to the situation, as I have read them before from the time that I spend learning about these particular subjects and the laws that apply to Motorcyclists. Not just some quick Google grab of info like in your own case Mr Polemicist in which you obviously didn't really read or understand anyway.

And to think that this afternoon I actualy emailed a Barrister that I met a while back, who specialises in traffic law to see if he could email the info accross as I'm quite sure a few readers wouldn't mind knowing what the actual law is and how they stand against it. Or maybe I should just Google 'what is a road' & 'take my helmet off' and just copy/post the first thing that comes up? Is that what you did?

Why don't you try educating yourself and obtaining some social skills first Rainbow7, instead of just typing out the useless, argumentative dribble you have become so famous for.

Reply to this all you like but just as many members have already stated and some not so polite as me, I'm certainly done wasting my time with you Rainbow7.
