Default Call to fine cars that break down. Vic.

Saw this in the news today and had to laugh but im sure it will become law someday.
To be fined if your car breaks down an any major Melbourne arterial during peak hour (basically all day) is IMO stupid. Unless its due to neglect of the vehicle like running out of fuel.

Its not like we go out of our way to break down.

A while back in my EL on the way to Adelaide from Melbourne i got around 10k's from home and the engine just stopped. After getting a tow truck home and several hours later it was the fuel pump. Now these cannot be serviced nor can you predict when they may go. Now if this was to happen under these stupid laws i would have copped a fine on top of the tow and repairs.

Is it just me but motorists are just revenue for the Gov!
