can anyone point me to the law on when and where a negligent driving offense can be given? is there actually a law that states somewhere that if you're involved in or caused an accident you get a neg driving?
I can only find the following reference:
from National Road Rules, Part 18, Division 1, Page 305
297 Driver to have proper control of a vehicle etc (1) A driver must not drive a vehicle unless the driver has proper control of the vehicle. Offence provision.
and a thing in the ACT Road Rules Guidelines booklet that says "the wise driver adjusts speed to suit traffic and road conditions, and drives within his/her ability"
they don't specify the grounds on which a neg driving charge is given.
they don't specify anywhere that if you're in an accident you automatically get a neg driving!
any lawyers out there??? or anyone who's disputed and had one withdrawn?
