It makes me wonder when the police force can’t control the tiny town of Byron Bay, yet at 10 past 9 on a public holiday Monday they can book a driver for not wearing his seat belt on a 50 metre drive to the shop.
I was booked outside my house 10 Booyun St, which is 50 metres away from the corner shop. It was pouring rain so I drove. Two hundred and sixty-five dollars later, no understanding, just quota filling!

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
I can’t believe I am the first to say this:
“You should have put your seat belt on!”
All the stats tell us that most accidents are within a couple of KM of home. I think you deserved that fine. I suppose you think that the speed limits are open to interpretation too…
