Speeding fines?
Hello fellow forum goers
What's the deal on speeding in Aus? Do they have a point system like us in the UK? I currently have 3 points on my U.K licence, will they be transferred to my Queensland license when I move? or do I get a clean start?
Thanks
Ben

Re: Speeding fines?
I've been trying to decided whether to take 3 points for a friend?
He got caught on a standing camera. If I a fresh start I don't see it as much of an issue with doin it. Especially if it gets him out of a spot of bother

Is that info gained from personal experience?
On the plus side, you get to know which stretches of road they usually setup on.
