Nearly 2 years here and confused with my 2 fines to date...1st fine was for parking outside W Hotel in the evening. No restrictions anywhere and not blocking or being of danger to anyone - 500QR and 3 points. 2nd fine was for speeding with NO POINTS. How is this possible? Points for parking and not speeding????
They need to sort out the system here. With no legitimate way to challenge the fines people HAVE to pay, unless you want to face the gauntlet of the police station.
If, as I'm lead to believe the offices are now paid commission on tickets (10% apparently), without them having to supply photographic proof of offences, then the system becomes comical and simply a revenue generator (not that it's required!). It's only recently that you've started getting officers on all the main junctions eagerly looking for people to ticket. If it makes drivers wear belts and stop talking on the phone, then great, incentivise away. When it applies to parking...it just doesn't work.
