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.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
