A man was charged with an unusual offence last week after he was allegedly offering to wash people’s car windscreens.
The 46-year-old, from Strathfield, was charged with ‘pedestrian stand on road and wash or offer to wash windscreen’ after being arrested by police at about 6.30pm last Saturday, January 23.
Police were given the information by a motorist who saw the man near the corner of Castlereagh Road and the Great Western Highway in Penrith.
He was granted bail and is due to appear in Penrith Local Court on February 29.
The maximum penalty for the offence is a $2000 fine.
Despite being a common occurrence, the activity is illegal.
