Remind me to never boat in Victoria Australia

You all think you got it bad with rules and regs in your area. Read some of these rules and on the spot fines that follow.

The Aussie government revenue department at it's best.
Your 100% correct - it has absolutely nothing to do with safety!

I guess I'm the odd man out here, but this doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. Play by the rules & there isn't anything to worry about. A DUI here is $10k+ so I don't drink & drive.

at the end of the day you are 100% correct. I have the same zero tolerance policy for myself as well.
