5 weeks...am i clear?

[XR6_4EVA]

Tt has been 5 weeks since the day i assumed i got caught by a roadside car camera at 'X' amount over the limit. Is 5 weeks a safe time to assume im clear?

[RG]

No, not really.

[XR6_4EVA]

Whats the longest its taken for you guys to receive a fine?

[Auslandau]

............ I receive my regular demands to contribute to the coffers within 5 days

[gtxb67]

all of the fines, that i know of have been sent and paid within 7 days. in my experience it is a very quick turn around

[XR6_4EVA]

thats what my parents and friends ect... have said :S

Just wondering what the latest date others have experianced is

[Fev]

supposed to take what? a maximum of 21 days? i think your in the clear although i have heard of some people receiving fines like 8 months later!

[RG]

This is Victoria, they like to keep you guessing and they are occasionally a bit slow to send them out.

After 2 months I'd be letting out a sigh of relief.

[Sorted]

I wouldnt be talking about it until 8 weeks later.............. your going to mozz yourself...............

A mate of mine recieved his one year later. bah i duno.

[XR6_4EVA]

ill count down till 2 months then!

[damir05]

i got one after 3 months, also few of my friends did to

[Biggav]

shame your not in WA after awhile if they get back logs of fines they become land fill

[SeXC]

gav, its chris.......

if you got done for substantially over the limit, ie 30 or more, dont forget about it until it takes six months, i waited 5 for one.......

You'd think that they would have some kind of a time limit to which the fines need to be issued... I mean on average it takes about 3 to 5 weeks to receive a fine in Vic (from my experience). It's just too bloody long. If you go past a (one) fixed camera every day at less than 10km over the speed limit (for 3 weeks), thats 21 demerrit points and over $3000 worth of fines. And this could all be due to your spedo being out by a few kms. Also wouldn't the government want people to drive more safely (considering that the position of the cameras are supposed to be related to the high incident areas)?

I really do feel sorry for you guys in Vic. I can go past an 80 fixed camera with my speedo showing 90 and know that I'm still safe (not that I make a practice of it...)

[FGII-XR6]

don't know about Vic but in NSW an infringement must be issued within 6 months of the offence

[LTDterri]

Father in law recently got his picture taken, took 3 weeks for it to arrive. Im thinking you are almost safe. Longest for me was 4 weeks

[superpursuit83]

nearly 6 months I waited in WA.. We had a big back log. Never heard of them becoming landfill though?

[Jastel]

In my experience usually 7-14 days, a bit longer at holiday times

Are you the owner? Fines are sent to the owner, then owner responds with drivers details, then they get reissued to driver, this can slow things up a bit
I have had one bouncing back and forward four times because I didn't put the guys address on it, he was an ex employee that moved to Melbourne, so I wrote that, not allowed, was told to put his old address on there even though I KNOW for certain he does not live there anymore.

[Parfrey]

isn't it up to 12months in vic? pretty sure i read that somewhere....

[Windsor220]

Got a few a couple of years back. All took around 4 months.

[GORDZ]

yes up to 12 months, but thats only by an off duty cop AFAIK?

[gthofan]

Just call up civic compliance victoria. Tell them to check your details, and they should let you know

[gemibabe]

the back log will eventually catch up with you..

My ex had the dpi knock on the door due to an accident he had while driving without a licence.. it was more than 12mnths prior...

I once waited over 3 mnths for a fine back in 99'...
