    New speed laws & penalties - [NSW]

    http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/rulesregul...edingpenalties

    What penalties apply for speeding in NSW?

    If your vehicle is detected by a fixed speed camera, mobile speed camera or Police Officer and a penalty notice is issued, you will incur a fine and licence demerit points. P1 licence holders will have their licence suspended for at least 3 months for any speeding offence.

    There are licence suspension periods, similar to the minimum disqualification periods applied by a court, for exceeding the speed limit by more than 30 km/h (3 months), and by more than 45 km/h (6 months).

    If police catch you speeding by more than 45km/h over the limit you may have your licence immediately suspended and confiscated at the roadside for 6 months.

    Note: since 21 May 2007 increased fines and demerit points apply to certain traffic and parking offences committed within operating school zones.

    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

    I don't understand. If you challenge a 5kmh over ticket, ($84), and you manage to annoy the judge... they can fine you $2200?

    It's got to do with the time the judicial system has to put in to hear your case and also I suspect to put people off trying !

    If you lose, they want you to fork out some of the costs to pay for the time of all involved/concerned...

    I know it's not fair/right, but they are the powers that be, nothing you can do about that part of it...

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    no Snotty, more than 30 km/h but not more than 45 km/h will get you 5 demerit points and a $647 fine. I believe that if you are charged with other driving offences, then thats when you face up to court.

    Not automatically unless as noted above by Greg, but you could go to court with any traffic infringement ' if ' you decided to contest it...

    All up to the individual as to how they react to a certain fine/alleged offence and what to do about it...

    Numerous cases of people going to court over a 3-5km/h over the limit infringement, 6-12 months and thousands of $$$ later, some win others loose...ACA (A Current Affair) love to document the winning cases for ratings LOL...
