What happens if I don't pay?

If you’re having trouble paying for your ticket, please let us know and we can work with you on the best possible solution.

Payment is due 28 days after the ticket is issued. If you don't pay your fine within this time, we'll send a reminder notice to the address where the vehicle is registered and give you another 28 days.

After that, we'll lodge your infringement with the Ministry of Justice for debt collection by the Courts. You will have to pay any extra costs.
