Fixed charge system

This system applies to many offences, including most of the penalty point offences.

How it works

• You receive a fixed charge notice setting out:
  • the details of the offence,
  • the fixed charge amount to be paid, and
  • where that charge can be paid
• You have 28 days to pay the fixed charge.
• If you do not pay the charge within this period, it increases by 50%. You then have another 28 days to pay the increased charge.
• If you do not pay it, the matter goes to court.
