I don't know about traffic fines or parking fines but court fines that use penalty units to determine the amount certainly do. That why a penalty unit is $110. It's $100 + $10 GST.

Passing through Waikerie in a Gun Buggy carries the highest of penalty...

Instant vehicle confiscation...

My Son got fined over $600 for the same thing in NSW, what a rort, Regards Frank.

I payed the fine , then some time later Vic roads said that they had had some problems with them pealing off . How ironic now they don't even issue them . So today's minimum ? Cheers Jim .

in SA we have done away with rego stickers.

i had one NSW officer try n give me a fine for no rego sticker. idiot

Same here in NSW, BUT not for trucks, Regards Frank.

I didn't quite explain , I was stopped because the officer couldn't see the rego sticker , It was on the dash not the screen . I will always remember , after the license check , ect , he handed me the infringement notice , I asked " What is this for " he said waisting my time !!.. then drove off . It was quite a few years ago .. Jim

As of October 2014 Queensland has gone labelless,one must carry their current rego papers in the vehicle! a bit stupid if you ask me, then anybody that steals a vehicle has papers to prove ownership,so can go to shonky car yard or wreckers and flog the vehicle,one can get interstate in under 24 hours!

Rego papers are not proof of ownership.
