ancullen Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Depends of if its gone to SPER (or whatever your states penalty enforcement revenue mob are called) I know heaps of people with large SPER debts, as long as they make payments they are fine Our equivalent of SPER up here is the Fines Recovery Unit (FRU). My mum actually works for them and is always amazed by people who get shitty with her when she tells them that they now owe another $20 or $50 because they've been sent extra reminder letters to pay their debt. If the FRU didn't exist we would have the old system where they'd get a certain number of reminders before a warrant for their arrest was issued. Now to get arrested you've got to default on so many different things (first a payment plan, then some property gets taken, then community service, then gaol). It'd actually be pretty hard to get yourself arrested over a fine now thanks to the FRU, but people still cut sick at them even though they're there to help.

SLOTH Snr Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 In vic they allow a 3km error margin eg; clocked 65 booked 62 clocked 105 booked 102 By the time the police penalties hand it over to the perin court the fine is about double with late fees added. Plus at $500 for driving an unreg vehicle (been caught one or six times) the debt quickly builds. DON'T GO DOWN THIS TRACK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Bracks has screwed everything up with all his new changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xany Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 thats pretty f@$ked up.... maybe he didnt have a really good lawyer...i would have thought manslaughter would be a more suited charge rather than murder, its not like he meant to hit them.

Clown Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I got done for 4k's over the limit at xmas time, what a joke. The even worse thing about that was i was avoiding a danerous driver and driving safe meself!!!!!! I also found out last night that when my car got defected for tyres they were infact legal! (well besides 2) I got told to replace all 4 tyres when infact it was only 2 that were illegal, the only reason the other 2 were dodgy was becuase of my suspension setup! I was nice to the cop and everything! BTW yeah I'm in vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
