speeding ticket

[rage]

I have two outstanding speeding fines and an outstanding parking fine for Oz.  They were sending letters to the womans house all the time while we were away with photos of me behind the wheel.  She wrote to them when we got back saying that she wasnt driving and that we had split up and i was in India somewhere, heard nothing back since.  This was all in rental cars where they took a copy of your licence when hiring which is where they get the address from.  Also got a fine for driving through a toll bridge in around Sydney which was meant to be paid afterwards but to this day i have yet to see a toll sign!  although the feckers we rented the campervan off at that time managed to take the money from our credit card about 5 months later with a nice wee administration fee for himself!  My advice would be to ignore it.

I live in the north and have lost count of the amount of times I have been caught speeding in the south. A few letters and court dates have arrived but I just keep ignoring them. The last I heard of them was about 4 years ago and I have since moved house so am not too worried

Good point, if you were in a rental car and paid by card, you will have signed something to allow the rental company to deduct any incurred fines from the card. Only way round that is to cancel the card you used to pay    I still say ignore it, they have no way of making you pay and I have not heard of anyone being refused entry because of an outstanding fine. In fact I know of one person who had totalled up parking/speeding fines in multiples of thousands when they left after a working holiday. They have been back twice since and no issues.
