Fined $1075 For Doing 22 Over Speed Limit In Canberra?

My guess is its a red light or fixed camera.

They send a maximum fine to the license plate.

(Usually if they cant identify the driver, or its a company car, or if they hate you)

Fill in the details on the form, get a Justice of the Peace to witness you signing it, and send it back in. They'll re-issue the fine to a normal amount.

I thought of that, and you may well be right Alistair, but a corporate vehicle cops 5 times the individual fine until the driver is identified i.e. $1115.

And if it's a corporate vehicle, wouldn't it go to the company, not to his girlfriend.... ie. the whole reason of the large fine is that they haven't actually identified a driver..
