Biker Beats Speed Rap !

[rev 01]

A motorcyclist recently beat a speeding conviction in a Victorian court by arguing a position based on his belief that the alleged offence was unintentionally committed due to the evasive action he took to avoid an accident !!
(He accelerated to miss a car that pulled out from a driveway without looking)

The rider in his defence was able to refer to an old regulation still on the statute books which stated that an unlawful act can be acceptable provided that :

" necessity makes it lawful any act that which is otherwise unlawful to prevent injury or loss"

For what it's worth
