How Much Of A Fine Should I Budget For?

[Sparkys]

As the title states, my wife just rang and she got busted twice by a fixed camera for speeding within ten minutes of each other (South Australia obviously). The first one she said she was doing roughly 10km over the limit (in a 50 zone) and the second one she was doing roughly 20km over the limit (again in a 50 zone). How much of a fine can she expect for this breach of the law?

I need to budget for it

Cheers

expect anywhere from around $400 up to $700 mate.....how unlucky getting done twice in 10 minutes.....but thats the price you pay for speeding....unfortunate but its the law...so yeah expect a hefty one coming soon in your mailbox mate...there will also be a big dent in the demerit points for her

goodluck and hope its a small amount

its about $204 for 60 in a 50 zone that again for 20kph over but also add another 80$ my guestinateguestimate is $488. Personally i would take her keys off her

Isnt it 15k over the 1st bracket pretty sure you in new territory with the 2nd fine.

hold on let me get this straight, she gets done by 1 and then speeds up more

i recommend getting her a car with a low rear license plate and a tow bar

[kralster]

Why was she speeding? That is unacceptable.

[TALBO]

Should be 4 points gone too

Are you saying that you've never hit 10-20k's over the limit?

Just think of the money you'll save and get back, once the missus loses her licence ... one less car to rego, insure, pay for fuel, service etc.

bah it will be replaced by nagging for cab fare

its simple get her a scooter that cant go over 40km/h

i just paid 201 bucks for a speed camera fine i was 10 ks over this was only a few weeks ago .

i was rushing the dog to the vet after he ate ratsack . so im happy the wear that one dog made a full recovery im pleased to say

[shy_s6]

like said will be around 200 for the first but more like 380-450 for the second

[Carbon 34]

damn bad luck

[DamageInc]

my piece of paper says $290 + $20 levy and that was for in a 50 zone

but no one knows the speed , fine says "exceed speed in built up area" and that was from a patrol car , not a camera

my mate got done twice in 10 minutes 6 months ago and lost his license cause he was on his P's

[kralster]

lol see this is what i find funny. All they bang on about is speed kills yet everyone in this thread has exceeded the speed limit and is still alive...

10 - 20 k's tom3h? more like 170 km over the limit.

[TALBO]

more like 170 km over the limit.

f**k man, you're my new hero.

Must be a D & D thing hey!

Twice in 10 minutes thats some luck... or lack thereof.
