It’s startling when you read back though our blog posts over the last few years how well we predicted certain developments in the story of the Immediate Roadside Prohibition scheme. We’re not patting ourselves on the back here — we’re lucky in that we happen to be in the right position to have been able to predict the next steps of the Government on many occasions. On the other hand, many times our correct foreshadowing the future of the IRP scheme arises because we are driving the narrative with our challenges to the law.
Our ability to predict the future came to mind in the last few days because of things we’ve recently foreshadowed on the blog. You may recall that we said that the Government will do everything it can to try and defeat the class action for damages arising from the Remedial Programs fiasco. You may recall that we mentioned that the Government’s offer to compensate people who were wrongly forced to pay for the Intelock and RDP is a trick. You may recall that although we succeeded in having the interlock lifted for 100% of our clients, the OSMV made one fellow still pay for the RDP.
We mention all of this because we want to warn you. We have predicted many of the Government’s tactics and steps along the way. They are clever and they are sneaky. And they’re not some benevolent organization out to help people. And we have foreshadowed many of their plans here on on our blog. And we want to warn IRP victims that you can’t trust what the Government tells you. They have an ulterior motive. It’s a trap.
Today we’re holding back certain information from you. It’ll be clear fairly quickly why we’re doing this.
If you like a puzzle, and you’ve been closely following our blog, you might want to spend a few minutes to figure out what we’re foreshadowing today. Or you can wait and we’ll tell you all about it — the answer, within the next few days.
