(a) information about their obligations under this Act should be made available to road users;
(b) voluntary compliance should be sought in preference to enforcement;
(c) enforcement should be aimed primarily at deterring noncompliance by road users;
(d) enforcement strategies should, accordingly, try to increase road users' perceptions of the risk of being detected if they offend;
(e) measures aimed at encouraging compliance should--
(i) target the road users who are least likely to comply with this Act; and
(ii) try to avoid imposing costs on the road users who are likely to comply voluntarily;
(f) appropriate alternative compliance schemes should be used as a way of demonstrating compliance.
(2) Preventing the continued commission of offences and imposing appropriate penalties should be seen as objectives that support the other objectives in subsection (1).
