It's no "on the spot" fines. That means, the police will charge you and send you a summons to appear before a magistrate to hear the matter. I think I'd take the on the spot fine myself but good luck to you all.

The idiots will be like, 'Yeah man no fine', and when they get hauled before the magistrate, 'but.....but....but....no fine.....why???'
