Default Speeding fine question?
I've never been done by a speed camera (car mounted ones) before but just wondering how long does it take for a fine to come in the mail form the day you have been booked?

any input will be great.

contest it if you do.. even if you withdraw it a few days prior to the hearing.. it'll waste money for them.

they're only allowed to take 1 point off aren't they?? I think cops are the only ones that can hand out multiple demerit points

You can lose demerit points from a speed camera - I lost 5 in one go and no I don't really care to discuss it. :O

Tassie doesn't deduct the points until you pay.
One of the current affairs show had a story about a guys who's technically lost 40 odd points, but can still drive because he hasn't paid the fines... hence full points still

remember if u got caught on aus day there was a lot of police out and they were busy. Point is that a lot of people would have got caught speeding so its going to take them a while to get tickets out to everyone
