    Speeding Ticket- Will I get off?

    I drive a company car & was told by the "stand in" fleet manager that he had a speeding ticket for me- dated March 30th.
    It was for doing 66 in a 60 leaving a small country town - $165.00 & 3 points
    Our normal fleet manager was retrenched recently, along with 30 other staff & I reckon he knew he was a goner & held on to all the infringement notices, as my fine also had a $700 + second fine for the company not advising who the driver was within- I guess- 3 months.
    The new bloke took my licence details & said he would tell the police I was the driver & said " I guess they will then cancel this second fine"
    Does anybody know the proceedure?
    I'm hoping the police will say tough titties, you had 3 months & not pass on the first fine to me..
    Thanks,
    David

    I don't quite understand, are you trying to avoid paying the second fine, or get out of the whole thing?

    The company recognises that I'm not responsible for the second fine & I told them that's thier problem.
    I just started thinking that the police could'nt fine both me & the company could they? I would have thought the second & larger fine would supercede the first?
    ( I changed the original post too)

    If it was not you then it is not your responsibilty. Loyalty is a two way street. You and whomever is in a managers position needs to be clear if it is you or if it could have been you. If it is not you then stand tall.

    Gosh, I probably didn't explain it too well. I was the driver, the vehicle is registered to the company & they got the original ticket, but because they left it 4 months, a second & larger fine came in this time for the offence of not advising who the driver was ( me)
    I was thinking maybe the first fine is superceded by the second. If it is, then I'm off the hook..

    Years ago my company vehicle got caught.
    We declared we were unable to identify the driver (cough) and the fine doubled.
    However, I lost no demerits and my insurances (we have 6 insured vehicles) weren't affected.
    No other fine existed.

    Seems to me that if they identify you as the driver then you get the speeding fine.
    They get the $700 fine for not disclosing who the driver was within the specified time.

    Is it harder than that to understand? Or am I (and others) missing something here.

    I'd like to tell them to not advise who the driver was as they will have to pay the $700 anyway
    You could be right, but there would be a proceedure & I wonder if the second one cancells out the first. - I'm responsible for the first, the company the second, for being slack..
