Hi

I received a speeding fine for travelling 75km in a 70km zone. I was wondering if anyone has successfully appealed their speeding fine and received a warning instead? Thank you in advance.

On the Victorian Police website it does state the following:

Alleged Speeds of less than 10 Km/h

Correctly verified infringements issued for alleged speeds of less than 10 km/h in excess of the posted limit may be eligible for an official warning if:
(a) No speeding infringements, safety related infringements or official warnings have been issued to the driver in the previous two (2) years; and
(b) The criteria for Good Driving Record are satisfied

    I wrote a letter and posted it. I think that you can fax it as well.

  Just came home to my Xmas gift from the Vic Police: a speeding fine. Whoopee! I was clocked at 108 kmh in a 100, and they officially list it at 105 kmh and 5 over the limit. Time to do the warning process again. Last did it in 2009, and that's the only thing on my driving record in 16 years in Australia (not even a single parking fine if you can believe that!).

  I have to admit, the warning thing is pretty good. They don't have to do it, but they show some mercy to those of us just over the limit.

    I think that in NSW they will only let you off once every 10 years.
