The
Aussiespeedingfines.com
strategy:
Aussie Speeding Fines (and also
www.fightfines.info) advise motorists
to send the police standard form
letters with your own details inserted
into them. Here is their suggested
process (by the way, it does not
work!):
|
1. Send this first
letter (it is re-printed
for you on the next page).
Wait for a response.
2. If the police ignore
your first letter and proceed
to enforce the fine (which
they will do), send this
clarification
letter as a follow-up.
3. Then you wait 28 days
and send them this second
letter. (This letter is
hilarious nonsense. Utterly
unintelligible - a must
read!!)
4. Then when they continue
to harrass you for payment of
the fine and record demerit
points against you, just send
them this this
third letter.
5. Because the letters are
unintelligible (they are
clearly not written by
lawyers), the author then
produced this
help sheet to try to
explain the system to his
clients.

You will notice that the letters do
not contain an election to go to court.
If you rely on these letters you are
losing your chance of winning your case
in court, and nothing in the letter
stops the police from enforcing the
fine or prevents demerit points
accruing.
Update: Aussiespeedingfines.com has
recently created an additional letter
that claims to be an election to take
the case to court. However the
objection letter may be invalid because
it requests a jury trial or a hearing
before two judges!!! Their instructions
state:
Because
they insist on harassing you, you
are asking for the matter to be
heard in a court of competent
jurisdiction. ie. a trial by jury or
a court that has 2 Judges present.
They obviously cannot do this for
every simple traffic fine and this
will, in many cases, stop them in
their tracks. Please remember that
it is your Constitutional right to
request this.
The author seems to be unaware that
neither option is possible in Australia
for any offence that arises from the
issuing of a traffic infringement
notice. Only specific indictable
offences are eligible to be heard
before a jury. Magistrates Courts do
not have juries. The Infringement's Act
requires traffic offence cases to be
heard in a Magistrates Court. All
traffic offences are summary offences,
not indictable offences. Perhaps the
aussiespeedingfines author has copied
this letter from an Amercian website.
It won't work here.
If you have had success (or
otherwise) using the above letters,
drop me a line. I would love to know
how you fared! if you relied on the
strategy provided by
aussiespeedingfines.com and you still
lost your licence or incurred demerit
points, you should get legal advice
about your rights because you are
entitled claim compensation from the
person who advised you to take that
course (his identity is revealed below
to assist you to do that).
