Hey guys. I've been a bit worried about my situation for a few days and I've yet to find any clarification that settles said worries...
Okay, here's what happened.
I drove to work over a 1 month period along a stretch of road in WA at a 70kph limit. I was flashed by a camera 4 times in a 7 day period at various speeds between 90 and 113. I have now accumulated 20 points and I have $1200 in fees. These are due in late February. I plan to leave Australia in May. The police have no record of where I live, nor will they. If I attempt to leave Australia without paying these fees (which I fully appreciate I deserve, but cannot afford to pay), will I be stopped from flying out at the airport? I plan to turn up at the airport in May, buy my ticket at the time or the day before, and fly out. I never plan on returning to Australia.
The tickets were posted to my home address in the UK. I know I can play the "i never received these letters" card - but I'd still rather leave the country with a minimum of fuss. Will a warrant be put out for my arrest if I don't pay within three months? I realise I can probably leave right now and be safe, but I'm required to stay here until May.
Thanks
