Yes, I got fined today for making a right turn at a no right turn sign. The time on the sign had recently been changed to 3-6PM, before it was 2-5PM when I used to go to school in that area (3 months ago). Me and my friends didn't bother reading the sign cause we were used to the old times... so all 3 of us got tickets. $197 and 2 demerit points *sigh*.

Anyway, I wanna know this... when I pay my $197 at the post office, will I get anything sent back to me in the mail? I'd prefer not cause I live with my parents and they wouldn't be too happy that I've only got 2 demerit points left....

Thanks.

What do you mean all three of you got a ticket?

And if you pay at the post office, nothing else will come in the mail. Once its paid off its done and dusted.

If they send you a letter in return, just tell your parents it's for something else. It's none of their business to know what is inside. The envelope shouldn't give anything away. It would just have 'RTA' on it or thereabouts right?

Make something up. Just say it was some young drivers' survey or something.

I haven't got a letter in the mail from the two fines I have got over the years, both were paid up-front and as soon as possible afterwards at the post office, and then that was the end of it. Unpaid fines, however, will end up chasing you through the mail, first from RTA/Cops and then from SDRO (State Debt Recovery Office).

Still in the topic of fines, but it's my prob now. Better than making a new thread on the same topic.

Here's my story, and it happens pretty often.

Last night, I returned from a friend's birthday party around 12 - 1am. I often find people parking in front of my garage, where the entrance is through the back of the house accessable from a small alley. I don't understand why, off along the road in the alley, only a small area EXACTLY IN FRONT of my garage along with 2-3 neighbours has no signs, means you can park there with no limits. And apart from that area, the rest has "No Parking" signs. Not only I can't get in, but at some point, I can't even get my car out of the garage itself when I need it. So sometimes, I didn't bother to park in my garage.

I eventually put up a polite sign, please no parking in front of the garage, it got ignored and eventually the sign went missing. So I decided to park in front of my garage instead. After a while, I got a small note on my glass 'Don't park here.. I often see cars here get smashed' and I thought this people is really nice, making the effort to write this and stick it on my car. ONLY my car not the others. Then I come to think to the point, maybe I took one of the regulars' spots and he'll eventually do harm to my car. So after that day, I never parked around the alley anymore.

So I decided to park in front of my house, on 1P parking area, except for holders' permit. I'm aware as I have no permit (Gonna get 1, sick of getting fines for nothing), so I put a note on the windshield, clipped behind the wiper saying that my garage is blocked bla bla bla. Well, few times it worked, coz I noticed the note was positioned not the way I put it. And there were rangers along the road.

And the only time I put that note is when I failed to find a parking space somewhere with no signs, around my area. I even wake up early in the morning just to park somewhere legally, if my garage is still blocked.

This morning, guess what, I got fined... again... $84.. It's not the 1st /2nd /3rd time I got that.. So far, I paid the fines knowing it's not my fault. But this really gets to my nerves and it really needs to come to a stop.. And apparently, the next door neighbour also experiences the same thing.

Do you guys think we can bring this to court? Coz Im thinking I can..

Put up sign notifying people that cars parked in front of your garage will be towed at owners expense. Then get them towed.

**** em, their own fault.

That's actually a good idea I reckon. It is on your property after all?

to the OP: I was pretty much in the same position. Imagine what happened when the police showed up at my door haha.

Can't really towed em can I? After all, there's no sign at all while other area has. And it's a valley with 2 cars wide, Not really on my property. They parked on the other side.. I guess I'll try go to court 1st.

Go to SDRO Review Guidlines and Request Review of Penalty Notice. Have a read through it all. They give guidelines on how to proceed.

Hope that helps.

Next time you get a fine put on your wind screen wait for someone to park in your spot then put it on their shield.

probably a 10% chance they will pay it for you.

If you never receive the official one in the mail then you know it worked.

As of the OP...... (bad advice... again) Change your address to something else for 2 months then change it back. LOL.

Actually I'm half Asian. I just grew up learning how to get out of things.

If you aren't able to do that... then you weren't sneaky enough.

Hi there,

You wont get anything in the mail as long as u pay your fine on time, otherwise your screwed since the car is under your parants name...

If your on P's you shouldnt get a mail for only having 2 points, if you have your full licence and only have 2 point left you will receive a letter.

This morning, guess what, I got fined... again... $84.. It's not the 1st /2nd /3rd time I got that.. So far, I paid the fines knowing it's not my fault. But this really gets to my nerves and it really needs to come to a stop.. And apparently, the next door neighbour also experiences the same thing.

Call your local council first and tell them the situation then take it to court if needed.

Considering the fine was issued to him personally, rather than a red-light camera/parking ticket (which would get sent to the registered owner of the car), any fines/notices etc in the mail would be directly addressed to him, so unless the parentals are the sort that go through your mail, they'll never know.

Reminds me of this chick I used to work with, she drove down station road and noticed a flash behind her, so she wanted to check whether or not she got caught so she drove back didn't notice a camera but saw the same flash again, she did this four times then relised she was doing 70 in a 60 zone... I lol'd :lol:

Last time i got done was for running a red light, on the fine it said duration of red light: 0.6s and there's me thinking, 'but my cars not that fast, I only drive a corolla?' I cant even blink .6 of a second <_<

I hate the law!

hahaha yeah, I'm not big on speeding anyways, I'm always doing the legal limit, depending on where I am, but a busy road like that, I dont think I'd even try speeding, one of our family friend lost his legs on that road hooning about so yeah, I don't think I'd ever do it

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
