The registered operator has 28 days to pay the fine, go to court, or name the
vehicle's driver, according to the notice. If you pay the fee and are the registered
operator, demerit points will be added to the driver's license. For speeding
offenses detected by a camera, fines and demerit points are the same as for
conventional speeding citations.
Other Traffic Infringement Fines In NSW
For example, if you exceed the speed limit by 25 kilometers per hour, you will
receive four demerit points. If you commit a second speeding violation of 32 km/h
over the speed limit within a year, you will receive 6 demerit points for the second
offense, plus further 6 demerit points for the fact that it occurred within a year
of the first. Your traffic history will receive 16 demerit points, which will result
in a driver's license suspension.
If you have more than one seatbelt violation in a 12-month period, you will receive
double demerit points. Drivers who fail to wear their seatbelts will receive an
additional demerit point penalty.
For example, if you fail to wear your seatbelt as a motorist, you will be penalized
three penalty points. If you commit a second offense of driving a vehicle when a
passenger is not secured, you will receive three demerit points for the second
offense within one year. You'll get an extra three demerit points if it's your
second offense within a year of your first. This means you'll get 9 penalty points
on your driving record, which could lead to a driver's license suspension.
Who has the Authority to Impose a fine?
If you do not pay by the due date, Revenue NSW, a government debt collection agency,
will become involved and issue you with a 'penalty reminder notice.' You have 28
days from the date of receipt of this reminder notice to settle the unpaid fine.
If you do not pay the penalty reminder notice given by Revenue NSW on time, you will
be issued an overdue fine notice by Revenue NSW.
An overdue fee of $65 will be added to your overdue fine as a result of this overdue
fine notice. If you are under the age of 18, the price will be $25.
If you don't pay your outstanding fine, you'll face more consequences, including an
enforcement order from Revenue NSW in an attempt to recover the debt. The suspension
or cancellation of your driver's license, the cancellation of your car registration,
or court action to obtain a property seizure order are all possible outcomes of an
enforcement order.
If a court order is not followed, the repercussions may include a community service
order or incarceration.
