Unfair? Oh for heavens sake.:rolleyes:
It's simply a revenue raiser, that's all and it doesn't apply in all states. So is it unfair? Yes! |

Why do you have double demerit point days for the day BEFORE a holiday and the day AFTER as well as the actual day itself?

I've lost track of the amount of speeding fines my OH has had since we got here but no points on his licence.

But the rule doesn't apply in all states. Why some and not others? And of course I know about the different laws in different states and so on.........it just seems like an unequal law...........

Yes and quite unfairly at times, you have a 1 day public holiday and double demerit days either side............
I for one don't have a problem with the concept. |

Re: Speeding fine but no points given?
With the new combined redlight/speed camera's you can lose your licence in one go on double demerit days 6 points for each.
I must admit to hitting the gas when the light turns amber rather than hit the brakes hard, now they get you anyway even if you make the light! :( |
Re: Speeding fine but no points given?
Im ashamed to say that I got a letter through the post today (Im in Vic) I was caught doing 81 k in a 70 area - I got $234 fine and 3 demerit points.
My OH has been caught twice doing a few Ks over the speed limit and got a lesser fine and 1 point each time. So here in Vic in our experience points come with the fine and more points are demerited according to how much over the speed limit you are. |
Re: Speeding fine but no points given?
I don't know if this works, but a savvy young lad at my work ( in Qld), who seems to know many tricks of the police (wonder why?) told me that the demerit points are awarded once the fine account is settled.
So he recommended over paying the fine by say $5. They then send you a cheque back for the overpayment. Don't cash it, so the account isn't settled and hence the points don't kick in. I am currently in the process of testing this theory, purely for scientific reasons you understand.;) TD |
