Australian Speeding Tickets...
Discussion
Hi to everybody.
I need a bit of advice.... whilst cruising around New South Wales, Australia, I have managed to pick up three minor speeding tickets which I refuse to pay. I return to England on 4th October 2010 and will be coming back to Australia sometime later that month for a further five weeks. My question is; will my unpaid speeding tickets hamper my return to or exit from Australia? Does anybody know how long it takes before such traffic offences are logged with immigration, if at all? If this was to be logged, would this apply in every state or would I just be blacklisted in New South Wales?
I would appreciate any advice and would like to hear from people with a similar experience. Thanks for your help!

Few questions.
Hire car or own car?
Where they mobile speed camera tickets, or were you pulled over by the Highway patrol?
What sort of speed are we talking about?
Do they have your contact details?
It was a hire car. I have one mobile speed camera ticket (letter sent to English address) and two instances where I was pulled over by the cops. I was doing less than 20km/hr over on all three instances. And yes, they do have my name and address, as taken from my driving licence. Would appreciate your thoughts )Hire car or own car?
