• You were unfamiliar with the road rules or parking conditions.

• Appointment ran over time or delayed in a queue.

 

Reasons for request for withdrawal which we will consider: 

• You were not the driver at the time the infringement was issued. As the registered operator you will need to provide a Statutory Declaration signed by a Justice of the Peace which includes the nominated driver's full name, address and date of birth. If you are unable to provide these details then you remain legally responsible for the infringement notice.

• There was a medical emergency which resulted in the infringement notice being issued. We will require verification from the doctor or hospital concerned that covers the time of the infringement notice.

• The vehicle had broken down. We will require a receipt for repairs or towing of the vehicle which covers the vehicle in question and the date the infringement was issued.
