Fined $1075 For Doing 22 Over Speed Limit In Canberra?

[restless]

hey ppl my girlfriend got fined $1075 for doing 22 over speed limit in canberra? what the hell... is that correct like how can it be $1075 for exceeding more then 15 but less then 30

does have anyone know if this is correct?

[Shell]

It should be 3 points and $223 fine

Are you sure there wasn't any other offences or anything?

[a20089]

Double demerrits double fine?

There's certainly more too it then just speeding 22 over.

[JD_R33]

That certainly sounds odd.

Wasn't a school zone or something?

[hr32gts]

very odd indeed ...

Maximum fine is around $260 bucks I should know cos I have been done twice over 15 but under 30

3 demerit points and around the 260-280 mark

$1075 sounds very odd to me

something she not telling you ??? or there stuff up ...

I'd write to the chief police commissioner and get them to explain it

[SuperElectric]

Dispute it!

if your lucky you will get let off but at least it will be corrected to the right price...

[W1ngnut]

That definetly doesn't sound right for just the one infringement.

40km/h over the limit was 4 demerits and $600 odd fine. That fine you got sounds too steep.

[Helious]

Not that im insinuating anything, but that looks around the fine for first offence DUI. Could have been possible that rather then selecting the over 15 under 30 on the dropdown bar, the 'whoever processes the fines' clicked on DUI first offence....must have been a good book they were reading... Anyway if is nothing else outlined on the fine apart from the speeding offence, dispute it as it is soild grounds to have the offence dismissed or removed as to rectify it they would HAVE to cancel/alter that fine and re-issue it...which would been a completly different fine all together. If the fine was issued on the spot, you could argue that the officer involved was not acting within the proper guidelines and a case of neglect of duty and/or questionable judgement would arrise.

that doesnt sound right mate!!!

Hey ive heard that if u get a nsw fine and you have a act license that the points done come off is this true?

[Trozzle]

Not true from what I've heard. Had a mate get caught doing 25 over in Sydney and had to do the P-off course to keep his license

[datto260Z]

Rego on the car? Rego been over due for longer than a month? Thats 1000 right there

[Bozzy]

ouch i got stung 700 for 53 over the limit. 113 in a 60 zone , i no i was a absolute wanker! learn t my lesson

[Guest]

The amount sounds like a DUI fine, $1100 & lincense suspension for first offence in NSW.

Come on Restless you got to come back to us and tell us the outcome now.

[GTR-N1]

Dispute it!

if your lucky you will get let off but at least it will be corrected to the right price...

^^^Yep.

But if you pay the $1075, don't expect any change.

[Viper_r32]

if you get done on any time around a public holiday (including up to a week after) that has been advertised as double demerit points the fine will be double the usual ammont.

don't complain to much, when i was young and stupid i got a fine a that was allot more than a grand

[slaughter]

they dont double the fine amount, only double points!

[Helious]

No, just know people who are in industry.

I dont think they would double the fines aswell, cause they they would be bringing along a mortgage specilist to every RBT and speed trap.

Just to clear this one up:

1. AFAIK in the ACT DUI fines are never issued as a ticket, only dealt with by the courts.

2. Speeding fines are $143, $223, $604 and $1647 (ouch!). School zones/Non school zones appear to be the same fines.

3. There is NO offence in the ACT where a traffic ticket can be issued for the amount mentioned in the OP.

The only feasible explanation would be multiple infringements - i.e speeding plus something else........
