Fined for $134

We were fined for $134 due to speed violation during our trip to Great Ocean. After 2 months of the trip, we got the penalty notice sent at our Indian address. This had been detected by an automatic device and camera installed somewhere on the road.

A xerox copy of the passport and license were given while hiring the car. Hence it is easy to track anyone and send the notice to the valid address. May be this is first time I am seeing such as notice for traffic violation. Because in India, it is common that you give bribe whenever any policeman stops you, thereby you will escape. Anyway I was really impressed seeing this notice. How cannot you pay the amount if you get all the particulars about the offence? You can find below the scanned copy of the notice (address etc. have been removed). Also if you visit the Civic Compliance office, you are eligible to view the image relating to the detection of the offence. You can obtain the image by paying $7.5 so that you can keep a memoir to the offence. Quite interesting….
