You always have the option of paying the outstanding fine in total, and getting your licence back more or less immediately. Sylvia.

And what's the basis for the Sheriff's action, dim-wit? You don't have any idea, do you!

The penultimate step of dealing with a fine defaulter is a court order for that person to serve community service, as per this link: http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lrc.nsf/pages/R79CHP3 If that person refuses to obey that lawful order of the court he is in contempt of court. He can then be sent to prison for contempt of court and the original non-payment of a fine is no longer relevant. On what charge do you think a fine defaulter is sent to prison for, if not for contempt of court? |
