Tuvalu Island Courts Bench Book - Federal Court of Australia

It will usually only be careless or inconsiderate if there is some
consequence, such as an accident, or someone is really put at risk of
harm or put to inconvenience.
If inconsiderate driving or riding is alleged, the prosecution must
prove that other road users were inconvenienced.
Ask, “was the driving or riding well below an acceptable standard?”
Defences
If the prosecution has proved the elements of the offence, beyond
reasonable doubt, the accused may still have a legal defence.
The accused will have to establish their defence to your satisfaction,
on the balance of probabilities (i.e. more likely than not).
Sentence
6 months imprisonment or $100 fine. Note that you may also
disqualify the accused from holding a driving licence: s25(1) Traffic
Act. After 6 months, they may apply for their licence back under
s26 Traffic Act.
