On a side note, last weekend the Uber trip home was going to be $81, taxi ended up costing me $59. Always pays to check!!!

We have a different system in NSW. It's all connected to the State Revenue Dept.

Any fine unpaid goes to them & they simply refuse to re-register any car in your name or renew you driver's license when due, until any outstanding fines are paid.

Sure you can dispute it in court, where you will lose the case & have court charges added to your fine. Very few people go to court, you lose time off work (more money) & if you lay down with dogs you get fleas.

In the old days you just spent a few days in jail to wipe out the fine, but a few guys got bashed & permanently disabled so they stopped that gig.

That is why Victoria has the Sheriff's Dept, the Government Debt Collectors - people who don't pay fines may very well have the Sheriff at the door collecting cars, TV's, sound systems, household goods, workshop tools etc to the value of the fine

Many don't realise this until the Sheriff is at their front door - stay posted
