Subscriber only Scott Moses Bradley had just turned 24 when he tragically died as a result of a hit and run incident in 2016. Earlier this month, he pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court to drug-driving and having an unregistered vehicle. For years Mr Bradley s mother Janice Bradley has campaigned to see hit and run laws in Queensland changed so offenders, like Mr Salam of Gladstone, are unable to get back on the roads so quickly. In 2018, Salam received a total of six months imprisonment, wholly suspended for 18 months, and was disqualified for 12 months for driving without due care and attention and for failing to remain at a road incident.
She said Salam told police he was unaware his car was unregistered.
Defence lawyer Lauren Townsend said her client, a 50-year-old tour guide, had plans to move to Townsville when his matters were finalised.
Salam was fined $600 and disqualified from driving for one month.
