R-SPEC Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) sup ok, usually when you get pulled over and fined for whatever, lets say for speeding you then recieve a notice in the mail regarding that fine. does anyone know exactly how many days it takes till you get the notice in the mail? i know its a pretty stupid question but i really need to know and please don't ask why. thank you Edited May 22, 2007 by R-SPEC Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150309-infringement-notice-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupe-This Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 then you drag it out as long as u can There are ways you can drag out fines for over 8 months quite easily, and legally.

Bec Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 As everyone has said above, there is no EXACT time frame. If you have an infringement notice coming your way, it will arrive eventually. EDIT: you said you got pulled over and got the fine, shouldn't that be it then??

arep3 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 are you talking about the fine or the courtesy letter you will get a few weeks later? if you were pulled over wouldnt the kind police officer have given you the fine there and then? the courtesy letter is exactly that. it tells you what happened, what you have to pay on the fine and how many points you lost etc. a basic facts letter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150309-infringement-notice-question/#findComment-2799888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunjeng Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 if u got an on the sopt u have the fine already. As stated above, courtesy letter will come some time after. Then it may take another 3 months for them to update ur points - from my experience. If ur going to contest, wait for the courtesy letter. Dunno why, but thats what my barrister says.

Well sort of i can't see how i can drag it out that long as i got pulled over and fined (already have a due date) but i'll still give it a try if u got an on the sopt u have the fine already. As stated above, courtesy letter will come some time after. Then it may take another 3 months for them to update ur points - from my experience. yeah i got the fine on the spot and already know when the fine is due etc but i wanted to know how long afterwards this "courtesy letter" arrives. i know the letter is pretty pointless now but i really needed to know. so there's no exact time frame? damn.... thanks Edited January 7, 2007 by R-SPEC Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150309-infringement-notice-question/#findComment-2800344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 i know its a pretty stupid question but i really need to know and please don't ask why. OK - curiosity got the better of me - Im gunna ask WHY (coz for the life of me, I cant work out why it matters) if you have the fine and you have a due date for payment, etc - then why is it so urgent that you need to know when the curtosy letter is coming??? am I missing something?

AutoTrust Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 On Ya Bike! Pedal power is the way of the future................................... and the unlicenced! I have dragged out paying a fine for so long that i got back demerit points from an old fine and as a result when the fine was paid and the points added i ended up not losing my licence........... until i did it again! That said, I have not been fined for anything other than a modded car for abour 8 years.

R-SPEC Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 so the demerit points definately come into play AFTER you pay the fine? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150309-infringement-notice-question/#findComment-2800539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sass Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 doesnt the ticket the cop gave you have how many dermit points your lost on it? mine speeding fines have always started out many points i lost for it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150309-infringement-notice-question/#findComment-2800569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arep3 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 speaking from experience here, if you did something that made you lose your license, or get it suspended, theres no way you will get out of it. cop it sweet, pay the fine and do the time.
