Facts
One count of a solo driver resting less than the standard minimum time – critical risk. The accused had driven a 7-day period (168-hour period) between 16 September 2022 at 8:45pm, and 23 September 2022 at 8:45pm. The accused did not have a 24-hour rest as required. Their longest rest in this period of time was 16 hours. The accused entered a plea of guilty and wrote a letter of apology to the court. The letter stated they were sorry and made a mistake. The Accused also consented to the Supervisory Intervention Order (SIO). The prosecutor submitted that the accused was a systematic offender and sought the imposition of an SIO. The accused had five similar offences in the past 8 years, mostly relating to fatigue and Work Diary offences.
