The tragic truth about road deaths in Australia

A Smithfield Plains man already charged with 68 traffic-related offences has fronted court again – this time for driving in a “culpably negligent manner” while trying to avoid police.

Anthony Michael Pippig appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court via video link on a further three driving charges.

The 29-year-old allegedly did not hold a licence when he drove in a “culpably negligent manner” on Main North Road, Pooraka, on June 8, while attempting to evade police, a charge sheet showed.

Police alleged he then drove at a dangerous speed in Salisbury South on the same day.

They will also allege Pippig hindered an officer in the execution of his duty on June 16, and damaged a vehicle at a private property on the same day.

Pippig is already due to face the Elizabeth Magistrates Court next month for 68 alleged traffic violations, accumulated in just a three-month period, including running red lights on nine separate occasions.

He will reappear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on July 30.
