Just Wondering? What Happens If I Dont Pay My Speeding Fine In 28 Days?


Recommended Posts

Hey guyz, i was just wondering what will happen if i dont pay my speeding Fine in 28 days?

Just got fined for driving at 61 in a 50 zone. :D

Do i have to pay right now? or do i get further 28 days after the 28 days?

cheers,

Vish.

you'll get nasty letters

if you want to take it to court for whatever reason dont pay it. otherwise you have to pay it asap, will only cost more the longer you leave it

160?!?! Drivel I say!

I'm not so hot on organisation, your fine will go up by the pricely sum of either 12.50 or 13.50, I can't remember. You can also not pay it for several months, each time incurring the same thing, until you go to court and basically get told to pay it.

2nd notice the fine will go up by 12.50 or so

the 3rd one will be at the fines registery which will be 50$ ontop of the original fine + 12.50

The next one after fines registery actually processes it would be another 130+ ontop i think

have always wondered. could u just say u never got it. because its not sent registered mail so couldn't u just say well im sorry i would have payed i just didnt get the fine

because apparently u can do the same thing for jury duty. i have never tried it i just get a doc to sign a form saying i cant attend. i wish i could do that with everything :)

160?!?! Drivel I say!

Just dug out my folder of bills.. got confused..turns out that $160 was a transperth fine for buying a concession ticket without a concession smart rider..

Thew all their letters in the bin, until I got one that said pay this one or see you in court D:

Student card just wouldn't cut it :)

R32 DRIVER is right, it was either 112.50 or 113.50 lol

If not paid within 28days, you get a final demand notice for the fine + $13.50. If that total amount is still not paid within 28days, it is then referred to the Fines Enforcement Registry. If not dealt with through FER within a further 28days, FER can place a driver's licence and/or vehicle registration under fines suspension for non-payment of fines.

So in short, pay on time :(

28 days on the initial pay up or goto court sheet, then

28 days late notice, still police dept, then

(random amount of time to get to fine enforcement; at this point you are deemed guilty of the offense and the demerits if any are deducted)

28 days from the fine enforcement dept, then

28 days late notice sheet, then

suspended licence.

keep this in mind if you only have a couple points left and you're due for some back in the next 12 months -- you can use the late notices to your advantage, i've once delayed points being deducted off my licence for 14 months... then i handed in my licence and left the country haha

if you elect to take it to court it will take 2-8months for the court date to come through (recently they gave me a october 2010 court date for a november 2009 offense)... and since you are not yet guilty no points will be deducted.. and even once the court date comes in, you can just tick the box to plead guilty.. and the points aren't deducted until the magistrate signs off on it. of course you'll have to pay court costs (~$115 extra) but it's a small price to pay if it's between that and no licence

Edited by ohno1

You won't be able to use the original first, you would have to wait until the 2nd notice that's that ~$10-$15 more people are talking about. I don't know because I've only ever had 2 fines lol

You could do that....or you could just man up, pay it, and get it over & done with instead of dragging it out.

my point was that if you're in limbo between losing the last points on your licence and receiving some points back you can use the system to your advantage

Ohno1 you unfortunately cant use this to your advantage anymore. I've seen a guy first hand at the dpi centre in willagee try that. what happens is when you pay the fine those points get back dated to the offence date. At which point you lose licence for 3 months or double or nothing.

eg. If you had 2 points left and you lost 3 before you get anymore back you would be at 13 points and would so lose licence regardless of how long you take to pay up. When u eventually pay it. they will look all the way back to the offence date. realise you had 2 points left then take 3 points from that date. Not the date you pay up.

It was a loop hole which may have worked. But unfortunately it doesnt anymore. (ps. the guy saw trying it on stood there arguing it for a few hours with no luck) hope this helps

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • 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!
    • 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.
    • 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.
