Police Pursuits

Police pursuits

In 2010 parliament created a new offence for police pursuits – known as ‘Skye’s law’. Section 54B was inserted into the Crimes Act making it an offence to drive recklessly or in a speed or manner dangerous when you know, or ought to know, that the Police are trying to pull you over.
