I am Czech Republic citizen and when this happened I was visitin Sydney driving my friends car. My friend had filled out a document with my details and address saying that I was responsible for the offence. Little while ago I have received the fine to my Czech address.
I would like to ask what would happen if I simply ignore the correspondence. I believe that they have no evidence that I have actually received the letter.
Does anyone have a similar experience? Does immigration know about this offence? I would like to visit australia again in future and I dont want to have problems getting visa or entering the country.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Not a big deal when a lot of kids do get run over every year.

Accept it.
