I was in Australia back in February and i got caught speeding..whoops! was doing 128 kph on a 100 kph road. Anyway to cut a long story short the cop gave me the fine which was $361 but he said if i'm not planning on going back to Oz within the next few years then DONT pay it.! So i didnt.

Anyway the other day i got a reminder in the post.!

What i'm wondering is;
firstly, can they really do anything if i dont pay it?

and if i dont pay it, how long will it stay on the system, so i can enter Oz without any grief..because i would like to go back at some stage.

they have tracked you down when you get the reminder from them to UK, so I would think you should pay. If you never heard anything more about it after you came back I would not worry, but as you did....

My dad had something similar in holland he got cought doing 135 in a 90 i belive, never paid the fine as he wasnt going back ever again, imo if it costs more than a plane ticket dont worry about it they wont bother if it costs more than the ticket to get you to pay it.

I'm surprised they contacted you in the UK, I would pay especially if you ever have plans to go back again. They are tough on speeding over there!

Hmmmmm..! i'm actually surprised they contacted me, they took all my details from my driving license but i never thought they would chase it up!
I wouldnt mind paying it if it wasn't so bloody much money, works out to about £240.

I'd hope they don't pass the fine over to an international debt collection agency. Wouldn't do you credit rating any good. My advice would be to pay the fine.

I got caught speeding in Oz but by a camera not a copper, because the car was a rental they had my licence details and sent the ticket back home, I'd actually been home a week when they sent it, I decided to pay it so I wasn't worrying about it.

Ha, I forgot about the double points! Thing is though, they advertise where the mobile cameras are going to be that day on the radio and TV so you know to slow down.

Thats only when people ring up and say where they are.
I nearly got done by a mobile one, but as he went to shoot me he slipped over.
They are getting sneaky though, unmarked vans parked on the side of the road get a lot of people. And hiding behind bridges on highways.
