Thanks for the info.

Not being a driver I don't know this stuff - so how come the points go on YOUR licence if HE was driving?

Re: How long does it take to receive a speeding fine in the post?
 

The points go to the registered driver/owner of the car.
There is a section on the form for the offender to fill in to take the responsibility for the fine and the points.

As opposed to saying "the car was seen speeding, who was driving?" Sounds like another excuse for a form, put it on one and take it off again, rather than make sure it goes on the right one in the ifrst place :rolleyes:

Thanks for explaining :)

Phew! That's good to know. :thumbup:

On a lighter note...

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's license?

Driver: I don't have one. It was revoked when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the registration for this vehicle?

Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?

Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the registration
in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?

Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her body in the boot.

Officer: There's a BODY in the BOOT?!?!?

Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his Captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the Captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

Driver: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.

Captain: Whose car is this?

Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration. The driver owned the car.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?

Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening the boot? I was told you said there's a body in it.

Driver: No problem. Boot is opened; no body.

Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the boot.

Driver: Yeah, and I'll bet the lying barsteward told you I was speeding, too!

I have just received said speeding fine, dated 24th February came today 14th March. $200 & 3 demerit points, it came to my husband:rofl: as he is the registered keeper but we have 28 days to fill in the back to say it was me:blink:

Also, because it is $200 or more you can pay in instalments, first one being $60 due by April 8th.

Hopefully with the change of ownership for the points may be able to drag it out a little longer:thumbsup:

Ah, interesting that you can pay it off.

We're still waiting to see if one arrives.

Re: How long does it take to receive a speeding fine in the post?
 

If you haven't had a any fines within a 3 year period you can request a warning"appeal" and you will be let off.
I'm in Melbourne,not sure if this is the case elsewhere.

Re: How long does it take to receive a speeding fine in the post?

Re: How long does it take to receive a speeding fine in the post?
 

It arrived today. :(

Offence date: 2/3/11

So two weeks roughly.

Wasn't me though, so will send it back within 28 days.
