It's kind of cute, though. The computer age still baffles him

The NSW govt tried to fine me in 2007 and I ignored it. Haven't heard from them since, despite going to Byron Bay and elsewhere multiple times.

Nyah nyah

Well, I guess I'd better be a good boy while in NSW, then

Going there by bus doesn't count, you don't own a car, do you.

Yes it fucking does. My exwife had it on speed-dial. Always knew where I was before I went there...

That GirlsNet.

Different, and more powerful.

Mine always knew where I was too, and would ring a mate I was with if I didnt answer my phone.

Saying "nyah nyah" is not dense....it is childlike in a derisory and silly way.

How about "fuck you, Panama Hat, you utter troll and turkey" ? Is that better ?

It's dense and childlike for a man in his seventies

That's just your usual tough guy act . . . you poor, lonely, old, broke man

Had a quick google and found out NSW is very much like California. They will eventually catch up with you..


What happens if I don’t pay a fine?

Revenue NSW processes and recovers the majority of unpaid fines in NSW. You will receive a reminder notice, with an extra 28 days to pay. If you do not pay by this due date, enforcement fees are added. Left unpaid, you could end up facing a total debt many times greater than the amount of the fine.
State revenue can take a number of actions for non-payment of fines, all of which come with extra costs that are added onto the total balance of what you owe.
Take away your licence

Revenue NSW can suspend you from driving, cancel your registration and restrict you from conducting business with the RMS. Ordinarily you will need to pay back all overdue fines before these restrictions are lifted, but in some circumstances, Revenue NSW may agree to lift them before you have paid off all outstanding amounts.
Seize and sell your property

Non-payment of fines could also end up in Revenue NSW seizing your belongings and selling them at a public auction. Sheriffs can be sent around to your home to seize your goods and sell them.
Garnish your salary or bank account

Revenue NSW could contact your employer and require them to deduct money out of your wage to pay off your outstanding fines. They could also take money out of your bank account.
Take you to court

Revenue NSW can also order you to come to court for an examination hearing so that they can determine what kind of action they will take next for non-payment of fines. If you don’t turn up, a warrant could be issued for your arrest.
Register an interest on your house

Revenue NSW can place a charge on any land that you own until you pay off all your outstanding fines. This means that you cannot sell your land without paying off the debt.
Require you to do community service work

If other enforcement orders have not been successful in recovering a debt, the Commissioner make order you to do community service work as part of a Community Corrections Order to pay off the fine.
Breaching an order

Section 125 of the Fines Act 1966 abolishes prison as a penalty for fine default. However, a person who fails to comply with a Community Corrections Order or Community Service Order may end up in prison.
Similarly, if your licence is suspended and you keep on driving, you could end up in prison. Repeat offenders caught driving without a licence can also face further disqualification periods, fines and imprisonment.

^ THat's for residents of NSW.


I got the fine THIRTEEN YEARS AGO, fuckwit, and they still haven't approached me.

Well in some ways you are lucky. You have no house for them to take. No car for them to take. No money for them to take, and no property at all for them to take. Accomplished a lot in your life haven't you?

You do take immense pride in not paying your debts don't you? I wonder how many other obligations you have welched out on?

To be fair he's not quite in his seventies yet.
A sprightly young 64 I believe.

Harsh, but if he were a nicer human being he probably wouldn't be in this situation

He lies about everything . . . probably his age as well.

The hyenas are circling and yipping.

He could try the tinted windows excuse.

Bringing on a lack of sun attack, causing him to race the clouds to stay in the sunshine.

His doctor would be willing to sign a restraint order I'm sure

Oh dear...I spoke too soon. A wombat has appeared.

This hit my feed. I thought to myself that it was a good job he did not have a serious debility - you know, like getting so sad when it is cloudy that you cannot work......




Attention Required! | Cloudflare

They do chase you down for fines years later.

I got clipped $250 (for crossing a solid line while overtaking an unmarked popo car in the dark) in 2005 in NSW while on a ACT license.

I got a fine notice from NSW police to my ACT address.

I appealed by letter and never heard back.

Then 5 years later in 2010 (coincidentally just after moving to NSW) I found $500 deducted from my bank account (steep interest).

I queried and they said they had rejected my original appeal at the time. But I had changed address so I never got the rejection notice.

I was able to prove that I had changed address and that they had therefore sent the rejection to the wrong address (and I therefore missed my opportunity to dispute the offence in court) so then they finally rescinded the fine and I got the $500 back.

But 13 years is probably a bit past the limitations I would imagine.

The speeding ticket from Victorian is only 18 months old. There's still plenty of time for them to catch up with LD.


Fines Victoria


If you don’t pay your fine and ignore all reminders, the matter will become more serious and costly.

The Director, Fines Victoria's powers

The Director, Fines Victoria can:

* suspend or prevent you renewing your driver licence
* suspend or prevent you renewing your vehicle registration
* make deductions from your bank account, wages or money owed to you
* charge and sell land that you own

If the Director, Fines Victoria has taken one of the above actions against you, you'll need to deal with your outstanding fines to stop further enforcement action.

If you continue to ignore your fine, the Magistrates' Court may issue an enforcement warrant, giving the Sheriff power to enforce that warrant and take action against you.

Dealing with fines | Victoria Legal Aid

Dealing with fines

Your options for dealing with fines are to:

* pay the fine in full by following the instructions on the infringement notice
* ask the agency for a payment plan if you need more time to pay
* ask the agency to review your fine if you do not agree with their decision
* apply for a work and development permit
* choose to go to the Magistrates’ Court to challenge the fine.

If you are fined for a driving offence, and you were not the driver, you can get the fine transferred to the person who was driving. Do this within 28 days of receiving the fine as you cannot do this after a warrant is issued. Do this quickly to avoid extra costs.

What happens if you don't pay

If you don't pay the fine you may have to pay more or go to court.

Reminder notices
If you do not pay the fine by the due date, you will get a penalty reminder notice. The agency charges you extra costs. The new amount is on the notice. You must pay the fine and the extra costs by the due date on the notice.

You can still get a payment plan, ask for a review, or go to the Magistrates’ Court. This must be done before the fine is sent to Fines Victoria..

If you do not pay the penalty reminder notice on time, the agency will register your fine with Fines Victoria. If Fines Victoria believe that the fine should be enforced they will serve you with a notice of final demand. Fines Victoria will charge you extra costs. You normally have 21 days to pay.

Enforcement
If you still do nothing, Fines Victoria will act to enforce the fine. They may:

* direct you to produce information or
* apply for a summons for oral examination (you will have to explain your financial circumstances)
* organise to have money regularly taken from your wages or bank account
* direct VicRoads to suspend your driver licence or vehicle registration, or
* put a charge over any land you own.

Enforcement warrants
If you still do not pay Fines Victoria will apply to court for an enforcement warrant. This warrant stays in place until the fine has been paid. The warrant allows the sheriff to take action to recover the debt.

The sheriff cannot take any action until they have served a seven-day notice on you. This is your final warning.

After seven days the sheriff can come to your home to get the money or take property from you to pay off the fine. The court charges you extra costs again.

If you do not have enough property to cover what you owe, the sheriff can arrest you. You may be released on a community work permit or you may be bailed to appear in the Magistrates’ Court.

If you have to go to the Magistrates’ Court, the magistrate can send you to jail. They will only do this as a last resort.


Dealing with court fines
A court fine is a fine that is ordered by a court after a person is found guilty of a criminal offence. If the fine is not paid to court on the same day the court order was made, a magistrate may choose to refer court fines to Fines Victoria for collection and enforcement.

Once these fines are registered, the person fined must pay Fines Victoria, not the court. Fines Victoria will send a ‘Court fine collection statement’ to the person fined. This will tell the person how much they owe and when the fine is due. If the court made an instalment order, Fines Victoria must enforce the fine according to that court order.

If the fine is not paid when it is due, Fines Victoria will serve a notice of final demand. This gives the person 21 days to pay the fine. If the fine is still not paid, Fines Victoria will begin enforcement action in the same way they enforce unpaid infringements.

Ah yes, but I am not planning on visiting Victoria any time in the next few years. They are currently known as the coronavirus state.

And if I ever do go back I will either not drive or be very, very careful in various ways.

But thankyou all for your heartfelt concern

Odious, SAD, little man, aint you?

That's your response ?

It certainly shows your calibre, doesn't it ?

Kinda bizarre the amount of effort you are prepared to put in to avoid personal responsibility in such matters.

It speaks volumes about your character, or rather the lack thereof.
