Default VIC : Penalties for breach of tow capacity?

I know someone who has started towing massively overweight. Ute is rated at 2000kg braked and 500kg unbraked and he is hauling 2500kg unbraked. Any police or otherwise on here who can tell me how the penalties work in Vic? After a quick google the max penalty I could find on vicroads was between 15-20% with 10 demerit points and $1536 fine, not sure if that is correct. Considering he is towing waaaaaaaaay over that, do the fines aggregate? I.e. For ever 20% he is over he will cop another fine or is it off to court for such a big breach? Yeah alright, maybe a stupid question but I am curious how the penalties stack up for being that far over the limit.
