Criminal Penalty Amendment

This bill changes what happens when people break certain driving rules. It makes some violations less serious (like speeding in school zones or careless driving) but makes driving without insurance more serious.

💡 Real World Example

If you are a new driver who gets caught going 25 mph in a school zone, you would get a ticket like a parking violation instead of a criminal charge that could go on your record and require a court appearance.

✅ Argument For

These changes make the punishment fit the crime better and reduce unnecessary criminal charges for minor mistakes.

This approach reduces court caseloads while maintaining deterrent effects through appropriate civil penalties.

❌ Argument Against

Making some violations less serious might encourage more dangerous driving and put kids at risk in school zones.

Reducing criminal penalties for traffic violations could undermine the deterrent effect needed for public safety.

👥 Who's Affected

All drivers, people without car insurance, parents of teen drivers, local courts and law enforcement, auto insurance companies
