Advice on traffic fine

[EnderZaMan]

Hey guys,

Last year one of my closest friends was driving my car, and they got caught by a speeding camera going 97km/h in a 60km/h zone last year.

This is above the limit and goes straight to court. The fine came onto my pay city, in which I had submitted the nominate a driver email to have it transferred to him instead of my name, almost a year later, the fine is still on my name and there has been no response to the email.

What can I do or where do I go as I do have proof that I sent the email within the window of nominating a driver

I'm moving to CPT in the next weeks and I want to try get this sorted in time.

Appreciate it!

Ignore it? If you get a summons then take the proof along and get it sorted.

Haha, I would, but my end goal is to immigrate and I don't want this to become an issue later.

Pay the fine and claim from your friend.

Pay the fine and claim from your friend.

It's unpayable.

Oh, can you go to court to sort it out then? Easier to talk to a person maybe?

I'll try that, just wasn't sure if you can just show up and ask them.

But I'll try it out, thanks

Why do people have to complicate everything in life... Sigh...

just leave it, expires in 18 months if no summons are served.

Yeah these things are annoying. Need to have a lot of patience with the broken system.

SO...where is your "close" friend in all this?? Why is HE not sorting this out/going to court?

 

[EnderZaMan]

just leave it, expires in 18 months if no summons are served.

That's the thing, the address on the car is my old address, and I forgot to update it. I have no idea if a summons would be issued.

Did the law change it was always 40+ above the speed limit is straight to court ?

That's actually a good question, it does seem to be 40+ is straight to court

40km over goes to court
Its your car, your numberplate, your fine.
Pay it and make your friend pay you back
