A motorbike rider trying to avoid a random breath testing station at West Gosford was caught by the Brisbane Water Highway Patrol and issued with multiple penalty notices.
At about 7.50am on Friday, December 8, the 43-year-old man from Asquith was spotted riding a motorbike on Manns Rd, West Gosford, towards the random breath testing station.
Police saw the rider stop, do a U-turn across the double white dividing lines and ride off in the opposite direction.
Police say the man was clearly trying to avoid the RBT but when he was stopped by police they discovered he had two pillion passengers – one being an eight-year-old child seated in the middle without a helmet on.
However, police said, the adult rider and the other adult passenger ensured their safety was met by wearing a helmet.
The bike rider was issued with penalty notices for: one passenger without helmet, $387 fine and three demerit points; riding motorbike with more than one passenger, $387 and three demerits; and drive across dividing lines to do U-turn, $387 and three demerits.
