Hello,
I'm a french tourist. I've visited Australia with my family 2 years ago. During our holidays, it seems we had exceed speed limit on a NSW road: 75km/h instead of 60km/h. It was 17 January 2014. Honestly, I do not remember if I was speeding. I can't argue on this point.
For many reasons, we have just received now the "penalty notice" and "penalty reminder notice", almost 2 years later.
1- Should I pay this fine? (Well, of course, we should always pay our fines, but...)
2- Will this fine have grown in the last 2 years?
3- If I don't pay, what next ? I know they can't do anything that worth the 248$ now we are back in France.
4- Is there a statute of limitations period for speeding fines?
Thanks.
Regards.
