Get some legal advise..

Ring Mark Stenburg from Lawstop he's good for traffic infringment advice 0294771199.

Shit that was quick Greg, sorry to hear they pinged you + 1 on Lawstop

Hi,
Fine amounts go up each financial year and there are always some penalties processed with incorrect values appearing on them. It doesn't cause the penalty to be void or withdrawn but you are only required to pay the amount appearing on your copy of the penalty and not the higher rate.

Fight it mate! Don't let them get a win on this one! It's not like you were doing 160 down the M4! This one is legit in my opinion.

suspect they'll just withdraw it and reissue a corrected one.

That's the way it normally works.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with a lawyer over a 300 dollar fine. Unless he's a now win, no fee kind of lawyer. Not many of them around who are any good.

And even less that would work on that basis for a $300 traffic offence I suggest.

Steinberg will at the very least hear your case for nix before taking you on. Also will let you know if you have a decent case or if you'll be wasting your money/it be worth having a go, etc.

Marks' going rate is about $250-$300 per hour...so, see if he thinks its worthwhile fighting it..but its not worth your while to get him to do it..
