Speeding ticket in Australia – consequences?
After my vacation to Australia, I was mailed a traffic infringement notice from the Victoria Police for speeding in Melbourne. A traffic camera caught my rental car going 13 km/h (~8mph) over the speed limit. The penalty stated is $220 and 3 demerit points.
As a U.S. citizen, and I required to pay this penalty? What would happen if I ignored this ticket? Would I be prevented from revisiting Australia?
Yes, you are legally obligated to pay the fine – why would it make a difference if you’re a US citizen or not? It may not prevent you from entering Australia again, but it might cause you a delay at passport control if you try to go back and there will certainly be an additional fine before you get in when you go back if you ignore the ticket. The outstanding ticket will be linked to your passport record in a database.
