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

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

    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
