Can highway patrol send fines in the mail 2019 vic
In Victoria, Australia, the answer is yes, the Highway Patrol can send fines in the mail.
According to the Victorian Government's Transport Accident Commission (TAC) website, if you are issued a fine by the Highway Patrol, you will typically receive a notice in the mail outlining the alleged infringement and the fine amount.
The notice will usually include the following information:
- The date, time, and location of the alleged infringement
- The type of infringement (e.g. speeding, red light camera, etc.)
- The fine amount and any additional costs (e.g. late payment fees)
- Instructions on how to pay the fine or dispute the infringement
If you receive a fine in the mail, you have the option to:
- Pay the fine online, by phone, or by mail
- Dispute the fine by providing evidence or attending a court hearing
- Request a review of the fine by the TAC
It's important to note that if you do not pay the fine or dispute it within the specified timeframe (usually 28 days), the fine will become a debt and may be referred to a debt collection agency.
In 2019, the Victorian Government introduced a new system for issuing fines, which allows for the use of digital notices and online payment options. This system is designed to make it easier and more convenient for people to pay their fines or dispute them.
If you have any questions or concerns about a fine you have received, you can contact the TAC or the Highway Patrol directly for more information.
