If you were pulled over in person then it doesn't matter if the rego is wrong, you'll still have to pay. If it was a camera fine (which I doubt otherwise it would have gone to someone elses house if the rego was wrong), then you could challenge it.

i got an infringement once then got a letter a month or so later telling me to disregard the previous fine cause it was either filled out or processed incorrectly. however they were nice enought to issue me with the correct infringement notice so yeah they can do whatever they like.

you can challenge it but i wouldnt be surprised if they send you another infringement notice with the correct number plate. My one was issued in person by an officer so they may have a legal leg to stand on since they were there to issue it.

Looks like from Post #3 that you received the fine in person > they have your licence details...

In this case, Macross is right; because my father fought his speeding fine in court since all 6 digits of his Reg# were wrong. At the court appearance, because he told the truth that he'd accepted the fine by hand then the speeding fine still stood as proven.

If however, you got pinged via a camera, it's worth fighting for.

Sorry that the news can't be better.

You can either pay the fine, contact them stating incorrect rego which fine would be re-issued anyway with correct rego or contest the fine at court but if you committed the offence and admitted the offence which it sounds like you did in court they offence would stand anyway. I would suggest pay fine now or if you need more time make them re-issue it giving you more time.

from what ive heard if they have filed an incorrect form then the fine is void, is contact legal aid or a regular lawyer if you can afford it

Incorrect.

I have had MANY incorrectly issued tickets, they simply cancel the incorrect ticket, and re-issue the infringement correctly.

First I ever had was speeding at 7am in the morning when it was 7pm (was re-issued)

I had a use mobile device while driving, issued at 7:50am, when I was infringed at 8:50pm (was re-issued)

Got infringed for doing a burnout, car type was incorrect, (re-issued)

was infringed for driving an 'unsafe vehicle', they spelt my name wrong (re-issued).

The moral of the story is that they will null and void the original infringement, and re-issue you a new fine. The only thing complaining will do is extend the amount of time to pay before SDRO come in and start causing headaches.

You want to avoid the State Debt Recovery Office, as they make mroe mistakes than you could believe is possible, and this alone will give you heart pulpatations.

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
