Traffic infringements
Hi all,
I managed to pick up a traffic fine for running a light in Brissie last year. When I (eventually) got around to paying the fine, they returned it saying the fine had been waived. Great... $140 better off
But, do I need to declare this on any forms regarding emigrating (still have all paperwork).
Thanks

Just make sure you hang on to that letter saying it was waived.Did they say why it was waived? What length of time elapsed from the issue of the fine to the time you took to pay it? Were you driving on a Brit licence or an Aussie one at the time? Would love to know more about the circumstances as I'm developing quite a knowledge of how these things work and am already aware of a number of ways to 'extricate' oneself from these fines!!
In any event, good luck with your visa application.

yup, definately said it was waived, and i'm holding onto it for for life as I know it could be crucial! Queensland RTA seemed to be happy that it was all resolved. i just wondering, would it been a no no, or a go go to present it on application?
