Thanks. This is bizarre. I thought it's almost impossible to contest a fine issued by speeding camera. :D

it's 'says' ;) i think we are talking about two different scenarios you are talking about the one where the notice was sent but not received, and i'm talking about the one where it wasn't sent at all.

i suggest you read ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) ACT 1998 - SECT 16 and also ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) ACT 1998 - SECT 33 if the notice wasn't given, and prosecutor cannot produce it in court, then the license wasn't suspended, hence there is no guilt

let us know how it goes

if you go to that site with .com.au it actually rubbishes the site you cited :D although i do have to question some of the things they say on their site, especially around fines affecting your insurance - as far as i know - complete rubbish

technical errors, if there were any the ticket didn't have some info and had some info wrong

Analyst, the only way you could contest the ticket is if you have clean driving history. Otherwise, in your case you probably shouldn't even bother. You can also try these guys: http://www.speedingfineconsultants.com/ , they claim to have lots of experience. If you do decide to try them, I...
