If the judge finds you guilty, the judge will normally fine you the same amount that is shown on the ticket. In some cases, the judge may increase the fine – for example, if you have a poor driving record. If you can show real financial hardship, the judge may reduce the fine unless the Motor Vehicle Act sets a minimum fine for that offence. You might also receive penalty points against your driver’s licence. If you are guilty, penalty points are automatic – you can’t fight them in court. You may also not be allowed to drive for a certain time. | If the judge finds you guilty, the judge will normally fine you the same amount that is shown on the ticket.
