hi all,
ok, heres the scenario, when i moved from the mid north coast, i borrowed my brothers little old corolla (just sold the xe : ) to move to mildura. anyhow, in the first month i got a speeding ticket for 67 in a 60 zone. So my brother gets the ticket, which is ok as its his car. He put in all my details on the back and sends it off thinking all will be ok. About 3 months later it comes back to him, so he calls vicroads and they tell him to do the same again, put my details in and send it off, which he did. Well, it came back to him again, this time stating that if he doesnt pay the fine and extra costs of not paying on time, he has to go to court, or the sheriff will pay a visit. So he calls the civil compliance people and that was useless. He can either go to court and pay court fees, which he doesnt have the time for (very busy) or pay the fine, which seams wrong to me as i did it not him. So i called the civil compliance people for vic and talked to them. They were not very friendly and didnt want to talk to me cos my name wasnt on the infringement, even tho i stated i was the one driving. Which brings me to 2 conclusions, 1) vicroads and civil compliance are complete retards and (2) They dont actually care who got the speeding fine, as long as they get the money, which to me is pure revenue raising, and not saving lives as they like us to think. So what should i do? anyone had similar experiences? |
