Was thinking, some of us after work every now and then like to do a few burnouts in the work carpark, this is off the street, the company owns the land and its completely ashphalted, the boss doesn't mind us doing it every now and then and when there is no customers around (after closing time), it's never dangerous as its a big car park and there are no pedestrians around or other cars as the other cars are behind the burnout line, there are 2 main roads adjacent my work, if the police saw us doing the burnouts and pulled in would they be able to charge us with anything or place us under the hoon laws?

Thanks, going to have to be a bit more careful from now on.
So even if you do a small patch on your own property then your breaking the law? |

It's an interesting one, thanks for clearing it up 4VMan, I honestly thought we couldn't get in trouble as it wasn't on a public road but private land and the burnouts were ok with the owner of that land, imagine all the people on farms who do some silly things with cars (I know of a few) that probably don't even realise they are breaking the law.

I'm sick of this 'hoon' label, it's not hooning that kills on the road, it's not speed that kills on the road, it's someone doing something absolutely dickheadedly stupid that kills on the road. I near want to throw something at the TV every time I see this new "Everybody hurts when you speed" campaign. It should be renamed "Everybody hurts when you die a stupid death and take your mates with you". Every single headline grabbing road death involving multiple teenagers has been the result of total stupidity, not speed. Dont get me wrong, I'm totally for the idea of crushing the cars of a multiple dick head offenders, just drop the 'hoon' label. |

Ok its off topic but you are wrong.... about private property (at least in QLD). You can do what you like on private property, however if your farm has for instance a road which is a designated road/track open to your neighbour for access to his farm/paddock etc... then yes you can be booked. However private property is not a road as definted by the Road ACT. I can drive up and down my driveway within the boundaries of my property in my unregistered car blind drunk. If i make it to the footpath then im screwed.. Here is the relevant act in its glory: Quote:

You are saying it is illegal to drive a registered car on a private property while drunk. However you are also saying its legal to drive drunk in an unregistered car as well? Sorry but you cant have it both ways. That act covers all... I.E: ALL the rules apply on a road and a "road related area". Please explain where the act says that drink driving is illegal anywhere on private land in a "registered car" and legal in an unregistered car?? Id like to see this law. And now to reply to the bit you just added after i replied: Quote:
Are you working as a contractor on a job? Or does the tractor belong to you and your on your own property? Be MORE specific.

I'm not a Hoon, I'm a Driver... I have all 12 points and have had for several years and yet still peoplke class me as a hoon because I have big shiny wheels and a sports exhaust... This whole thing sucks, they should be called Road Abusers or something and +1 for adding REPEAT DRINK OFFENCES into the Mix

I got done many years ago for being asleep in my cay ( here in vic ) on our family farm blew .06 so yes you can get done for both being drunk and having an unregoed vehicle why do you think we have rego for farm equipment and vehicles I was lucky i was just cautioned at court so no conviction I beleive that if this stops morons being tools on the road then so be it

But I have never legislation which says that its illegal to operate a vehicle on private land. The Road Act only covers roads. By your definition and 4Vs then all road rules apply on private land. Tell me when were the tracks on your property gazzetted? What is the speed limit on your property? Who says you need ot have a vehicle registered on a property? Your insurance company or the road laws? There is NO LAW saying YOU MUST have a vehicle registered to drive on private land. Please prove otherwise... The mere fact you admit Police just cautioned you proves they didnt have a leg to stand on. And please tell us all the facts. Did Police enter your property uninvited? Where were you parked?

for 1 the property is in the middle of country vic ( ballarat area well colac well geelong well i dont need it known where ) and the reason i got off it with a caution was the fact that even though i had a high powered car at the time I never had a conviction for anything not even no seat belt ect
I don't give a rats about any other part of aus in regards to these laws i know i have copped it and we need to educate people that there is things that can change if they drive right I dont want to get into an argument over this just listen to what is said thats all

Jim... READ up:http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/...gPenalties.htm
The bit you need to pay attention to: "Drink driving offences are not limited to public roads. They can be committed on private property." Jim.. LOOKY HERE: Driving a motor vehicle on land which is not a highway (e.g. private property not open to the public). All of the usual drink driving laws apply to driving on private property. All of the motor vehicle accident laws apply to accidents on private property. The majority of driving laws do not apply on private property (e.g. seatbelts, speeding). You are not obliged to state your name and address upon request unless you are found driving on a "highway". You are not obliged to produce a drivers licence (or be licenced) unless you are found driving on a "highway". A private road or driveway on a farm might still be a highway if it is open to the public for driving. The offence of 'driving in a manner dangerous to the public' can be committed anywhere. Careless driving can be committed on a highway only. Drink driving offences can be committed anywhere within the State, even in your locked garage. SATISFIED JIM???
