We have all seen it going on and most of us have been in some sort of road rage incident at some time or another.
Road rage does not have to be full on assaults.
Wikipedia states - "Road rage is aggressive or angry behaviour exhibited by a driver of a road vehicle, which includes rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver or a pedestrian in an effort to intimidate or release frustration".
Now we all know what it is, let's all be calm while we are driving around.
Leave plenty of time to get to your destination and remember, when you are sitting in the traffic and it's not moving, everyone is in the same situation. You are not alone.
Treat other drivers the way you would want them to treat your wife, daughter or other member of the family.
Domestic Violence - NSW Police know domestic and family violence is an abhorrent crime that damages our community at all levels and is related to approximately 40 per cent of all homicides.
Domestic violence does not discriminate. It impacts people of different genders, all ages and cultures.
If you are in a domestic relationship and you are reading this then keep reading.
I cannot stress the importance of reporting any domestic violence incident to police.
Where there is evidence a domestic violence incident has occurred, is occurring, or is imminent, police will act to ensure the victim and their family are afforded immediate protection.
The NSW Police Force Domestic and Family Violence Policy and the associated procedures provide strong and consistent responses directed at ensuring the safety and wellbeing of victims; holding perpetrators to account and reducing risks to police safety.
This means that if required, police will take out interim apprehended violence order (AVO) on your behalf.
The perpetrator will be charged if there is enough evidence and put before a court at the soonest opportunity.
If a child has been abused, or is in need of protection from the offender, police will make an application for an AVO, investigate the matter, identify the offender and if the victim/s are still in danger, remove the offender from the house or sometimes the town.
Mark my words, if you are in any way prone to violence and cannot control your anger within the family unit, and you are the cause of a domestic violence incident, be warned.
You will be spending time in the dock at Nowra Police sStation and may well be eating prison food for some time if you touch your family in anger.
That's all the excitement for this week.
