Incorrect. It is backdated to the date of the offense, when he was on P's.
OP, either:
a) Cop couldn't get any firm evidence on you and won't do anything
b) You will receive paperwork in mail, could be anything, depending on what cop pings you on. Could be anything up to 42km/h over. Won't be impounded as it's 45km/h over which is the instant impound threshold. 25km/h over is instant loss of license for a month I believe, not sure when it increases to 3 or 6 months.
Hamatime is 100% correct, 25km is loss of license and any points are backdated.
As Hama said
One of these will happen.
- You wont receive a fine because the officer cant be bothered, all fines are at the police officers discretion (possible). It is perfectly normal for them to mail it out.
- You will receive a hand written fine in the mail with a "date of issue" which will be when he wrote it out, you will have 28 days to dispute the matter and have it heard in a magistrates court or lose your license on the 29th day.
If you choose to dispute it and take it to court, you will keep your license until the court hearing then a magistrate will decide what the outcome is.
I don't think it works like that anymore. Because people were waiting till they could afford to take the points. Also if you loose your liscence when you're on you p's now your time gets extended after your suspension period ends.
Good luck op. I was on my P's for 5 years and was only meant to be on them for 3. The last couple of years dragged a bit but you'll get there. You do the crime and you do the time hehe.
Exactly, the request for points will be sent to vicroads once payment on the infringement is made ORRRRRR when the matter is left with no action and goes to the infringements court and becomes an enforcement order with an additional 77.10
THEN if they don't do ****, it gets another 56.50 and becomes a warrant where a sheriffs officer can clamp your car, suspend rego/license or take your **** and if you don't have stuff to take they'll arrest your arse and you can serve your time a cell.
If you haven't had a fine before, once you get it in the mail(if you do), you can write a letter pleading you case asking for the infringement to be withdrawn. If you've got a clean record and your rego isn't flagged, 95% of the time they'll withdraw the fine. You'll still be stuck with the points though. Good luck man.
Incorrect, An internal review (or as people say, write a letter) isn't an option with anything that is 25km+ or drink driving where you would automatically lose your license. Only way to try and get out of the fine is to go to court.
