Who says QLD is broke

Well it seems the notice can be reissued to the employee:

Infringement Notices issued in the name of corporations or companies attract a monetary penalty five times that of a penalty issued to an individual. In these instances no demerit points are allocated. Should a representative of the company nominate an individual as the person in charge of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence, the Infringement Notice may be reissued to the individual nominated and an individual monetary penalty including demerit
points will apply.

Now if only the Curier Mail could get behind this bloke:

If you're over 0.05 and caught operating a pair of shoes on a public road, that's it pal – you can try to plead why you're not a danger to life and limb in the Magistrates Court next week. Just make sure your cheque account is topped up first.

Funny you say that as on the way home from work everyday I am already doing 100kms past that speed camera in preparation for this.

No where on the infrigment notice does it say that if you declare who was driving you only have to pay $133.

The driver admitted the offence, being a speed camera on a steep downhill grade in Buderim (profitable place I am sure) so I had to enquire how to get the fine reduced.
It appears they are far more interested in the money than the points.

Anna Bligh must go........

This is standard paractice, it has been like this long before the current Government.

Maybe you should go back to year 6 when you learn about the three levels of Government and the history of who has been appointed.

Because of the anonymous nature of business vehical registrations, they they multiply the cost of the fine to prevent people from avoiding paying the fine (a business pays for it) and losing their points.

We run 10 vehicles at my business and all the camera fines that come in are $700 in size, but no point loss. The business can pay the fine for $700, or you can identify the employee and have a JP/C.Dec. sign a statutory declaration that they were the driver, the fine will come down to induvidual fine ammount and a points deduction is applied to that persons license.

Pretty simple really.

Not true.

I have a speed camera fine from 2003 and it states the smaller amount by default but will be increased to the larger amount without declaration.

The current 2010 one states the larger amount and does not state that it can be reduced.

Both were in the current party governing.

The actual law has not changed, just how it is presented.

Fair dinkum these governments are really losing the plot.
I am going to buy myself a Morris or a Wolseley or something that does 0-100 in 22sec as a personal protest , cruising the 110 at 80-90 if I push it ..probably cause a accident or two I reckon , but, I will be safe though won't I ? I am under the limit.
No Speeding = No accidents/killing... Thats what they are telling us .
