Fight your fines

[Alspos]

No reason why this can't be done everywhere else too if you feel hard done by.

VICTORIANS are flocking to a website that offers advice on how to fight their speeding fines in court.

The controversial site has been online only three months.
But already scores of disgruntled drivers are logging on every day for tips on how to avoid paying fines.

Defences range from arguments about speedometers to querying the constitutionality of Victoria's speed camera system.

The Government would not say whether the site broke any laws but is not happy with the site, the creation of engineer Carl Agar.

"The easiest way to avoid having to pay a speeding fine is to not speed, and thereby avoid receiving a speeding fine," said Police Minister Tim Holding.

"Even exceeding the speed limit by small amounts increases the risk and severity of road trauma."

Mr Agar created the site -- www.fightfines.info -- after he successfully challenged his own fine. After being clocked doing 66km/h in a 60km/h zone, Mr Agar was found guilty but his fine and costs were waived.

Others had used the information on his site to avoid fines.

"It's not legal advice. If people want to challenge their fines here are some arguments for you to consider," he said. "All the information on the website has been in the public domain."

Mr Agar said all Victorians should challenge their traffic fines to protest at getting charged over minuscule speed infringements in a revenue-raising exercise.

"Even if 5 per cent of fine recipients challenged, they would just bring the system to a halt," he said.

"Even exceeding the speed limit by small amounts increases the risk and severity of road trauma."

That's a blatant lie right there.
