Also has you ticking yes to the criminal record box on job applications and will show up on police checks, it's one of the rare ones that you don't need to go to court to have a criminal conviction applied, once you pay the fine it's an admission of guilt.

Excessive speed, drug and alcohol offences
Fines for excessive speed, drug and alcohol offences are different from other fines – they are more serious.
They may result in:
driver licence cancellation or suspension
a conviction
A conviction will be recorded 28 days from the Infringement Notice issue date on your fine, unless you object. If you were not responsible for the offence, you should act before that date. If you don't act, the offence will appear on your criminal record.
Excessive speed
You will be issued with an excessive speeding fine if you are caught driving 25km/h or more above the speed limit or driving at 130km/h or more.
If you do not act within 28 days of the notice issue date, your driver licence will be suspended, or in some cases it will be cancelled. The length of the suspension will be determined by how serious your offence is (how far over the speed limit you drove).

People may think that's not a big deal but in Victoria there's no legislation protecting you from discrimination from employers over having a current criminal conviction
Quote:
Is it lawful to be asked about a criminal record or spent conviction?
There are no laws in Victoria against employers who discriminate against someone because of a current criminal record. However, from 1 December 2021, an employer cannot discriminate against you (treat you unfairly or unlawfully) because of a spent conviction.

The only discrimination protection you have is for spent convictions and only since December 2021, so if anyone ever cops the excessive speed charge, go contest it in court with legal representation and try score no conviction recorded from the magistrate which will give you discrimination protection with employers in the form of the spent convictions act 2021.
