Speeding Fine Question

[Meecrob]

Hey guys

My friend asked to drive my car so I let him. Anyway, he started to speed and instantly got flashed as he did so. Yeah he was stupid for doing that.. Anyway, I'm wondering how this affects me?

Does the demerit points + fine go to the driver of the vehicle at the time? Or goes to me as I'm registered under it. I mean, the fine will come to me but how do I get my friend to transfer the demerits HE got to him?

He offered to pay the fine so its fine, I'm just more worried about how it affects me, if at all.

Anyone with info or experience to this please let reply thanks

The fine will come to the person who is the registered owner of the car, as obviously the police have no way of knowing if someone else was driving the car at the time. Then, there is a section on the back where you nominate who was actually driving at the time, as far as i know you just need a few simple details plus their licence number.

Hope that helps

Cheers Cash. I was just a bit worried as I just got a new car and he was doing roughly 30-40km over limit and was worried about my license being suspended.

He's a close mate though so he's definitely willing to take the blame for everything. I just hope this incident doesn't touch my records!

just ring up the place where u have to pay it, you can tell them he was driving, and i guess he would have to confirm it, but shouldnt be a big drama, it happens alot, especially when people have too little points left, they just throw em on some-one else's licence

Ring them up when I get the fine right? Not before or anything? Also he got flashed but there were a few cars in the other lanes with him so I'm not 100% sure. Are his odds any good?

Just go halfies, so non of ur licenses get suspended 20/20

As the owner the fine will be sent in your name and you will need to fill out the Stat Dec section on the back nominating your friend as the driver and the fine will be re-issued in his name with demerit points and possible suspension. It will have no affect on your records once you nominate him.

If you ring them and say "I think I got my picture taken because i was speeding", ....that is as good as an admission of guilt.

Wait until the fine comes.

Don't pay it!.... once you've paid the fine, you've admitted to the offence.

Your friend may decide to contest any fine, ...eg: it may be his first offence and he may be able to ask that the fine be reduced to a warning based on previous good driving behaviour, or there may be other circumstances (other vehicles present as you mentioned) .......and there may not be any fine sent at all, so it's best to just wait and see.

If one comes, read the information on the fine, it will tell you what you have to do if you weren't the driver.

Follow those steps.

Good luck, and make sure that people drive safely when they're driving your car!

Yep as they said you just have to fill out the statutory declaration (need his licence no. dwelling address. DOB and a few other details) then get it signed by a justice of peace, your law guy or someone else with legal authority (a chemist perhaps?) and mail it back. Then they'll send you a withdrawal notice and re-issue it to your mate

If you're going to go through all that, ask to see the photo as well, just to confirm there were no other cars in the image. If there are then none of you get the fine!

[ctjet]

doesnt getting the photo cost you though?

I think my dad did that and it cost him some cash

[GTAAAH]

Yeh, i can't remember the exact price but i think it's around $8-15

It's a pretty big nice glossy though

speed cameras do not deduct points and you dont get it suspended / disqualified, so dont get ya knickers in a knot.
