New Sanction Puts Fine Defaulters on Notice
Source: Victoria. Acting Premier. Media Release
"Victorians who don’t pay their fines and ignore reminders will not be able to renew their motor vehicle registration under a new sanction targeting fine defaulters. Acting Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said the sanction was part of a six-month trial of a State-wide crackdown on fine defaulters. “The sanction allows the Sheriff to direct VicRoads to prevent the renewal of a person’s vehicle registration if that person has an outstanding infringement warrant,” Mr Hulls said. Fine defaulters will be notified of the sanction 19 weeks before their registration is due. They will receive three letters before a final letter notifying them that their registration has not been renewed."
