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.
