ACT Traffic Infringement Notice and Speeding Fines - Appear in Police Clearance?

[Ahsanul Habib]

I have paid twice for speeding fines and making a u-turn where I was not supposed to be doing so. Currently I am paying a traffic infringement notice for driving at a low speed in a right lane of above 80 km/h. Will all these appear on my police clearance report?

Hi,

I believe traffic convictions (i.e. drink/drug driving, excessive speeding) are recorded on a National Police Certificate, however traffic infringements for which a fine or caution are issued are not.

So, to be clear, the ones I have paid fines for will not appear? Am I right? I am not quite sure what a traffic conviction and traffic infringement is.

Yes essentially that's right. The convictions are for the more serious driving offences.
