Sly's General Questions

[Chooka]

Let's say, hypothetically, you were driving a leased car registered in, say, NSW under a company name. You are the sole driver of the car while its leased. Continuing this hypothetical story, while interstate (for the sake of argument, let's say you were in Canberra) you were issued with a parking ticket. You have 28 days to pay, before they start sending reminders etc., but within that time you give back the car and its sold / auctioned off (end of lease). 100 or so days later, you haven't received so much as a reminder notice.

So, my friends, do you sleep easy? How long would it take them to just give up and write it off? Is there some sort of inter-jurisdiction agreement that would allow the NSW authorities to follow it up and take action?

I'd be waiting at least a year or two before breathing easy. One of the guys at my old work got a parking ticket, ignored it and they where still chasing him up 2 years later, they never forget, it just sometimes takes a little while before sending the first reminder notices. (They may never forget, but they are certainly slow in acting)

That is becasuse it will go through so many departmets. First it will go through to the leasing company, there it will probably go through 4 people -

Registrations - they receive any infringments etc

Disposals - To make sure the client was in possestion of the car

Relationship manager - Contacts company to advise who was driving the car

Company - finds out the drivers name and details etc

Relationship manager - relays this back to Registrations

Registrations - signs all the relevent documents and stat dec's to say "John Smith" was driving and sends it back to whomever sent the infringment.

Then you have to wait for it all to be reissued etc in the drivers name.

Trust me they will make you pay, we had one we could not place a driver too and the company had to pay, that may be the only way you will get out of it.

If the small obnoxious child (13y/o) of the next door neighbour, decides to warm up and rev his 2 stroke motorbike to 72,000 revs before going on the road and popping mono's without a helmet, all at 6 in the morning. Am I legally allowed to cave his head in with a mallet while he sleeps?
