You should know that this section, ‘Endangering transport’, used to be part of the law about ‘Assaults and injuries to the person’ in the Crimes Act 1961. However, it’s no longer part of the law. The government removed this section on 1 October 2003. This means that the specific rules about endangering transport that were once in this section no longer apply in the same way. If you want to know more about current laws related to transport safety, you might need to look at other parts of the law or ask a legal expert.
