Whats the fine there for poliscan tickets?
In the US they are relatively cheap with no points.

We only get 12 points to play with over a 3 year period...
So, in short, its really strict here compared to the USA...

How can they prove who was driving to be able to issue points?

They run under the mind set, the car is in YOUR NAME, so you take the point hint unless you can prove someone else was driving.
Eg make them sign the STAT DEC on the fine paper work.

Lovely isn't it...

That sucks... Out here in MD if I remember correctly it was $50 and no points. The cameras were sending out millions of notices a year so its a cash cow.

WILL THE NEW CAMERAS IMPROVE ROAD SAFETY? HAVE YOUR SAY BELOW

The ageing mobile cameras now used rake in more than $100 million a year in Victoria alone; state-of-the-art supercams could easily double that.
