Parts of South Australia will significantly increase speeding fines by up to A $1500, the Daily Mail reported.
It is reported that in South Australia, drivers who exceed the speed limit of 30 km / h to 45 km / h will be fined A $1472, a significant increase compared with the original A $920; Above the speed limit of 45 kilometers an hour, the fine will rise to A $1658 from A $1036.
If a driver is found speeding while driving a company's vehicle, his or her company will have to pay a fine of A $1800, up A $1500 from the original A $300A. Lukas (Rob Lucas), South Australia's finance director, said the measure would have a significant economic inhibitory effect on employers and companies protecting speeding employees within the company.
It is reported that in addition to the increase in speeding fines, there are other charges in South Australia, such as hospital parking fees and public transport costs, and so on.
