Speeding Fine Reviews Each application for an official warning is reviewed on a case-by-case basis with factors such as the circumstances, time of offence, weather conditions, traffic density and type of road/land abutting taken into account. For example, if you recently received a speeding fine but have had a good driving record in the past.

For a speeding offence less than 10 kilometres per hour over the speed limit an official warning may be issued if you: ● Hold a current driver's licence, including probationary or current learner driver's permit ● Have not been issued with a speeding, other traffic Infringement or official warning within the previous two (2) years ● Have an alleged speed less than 10 kilometres per hour over the speed limit, and ● Do not deny that you committed the offence.

For a speeding offence between 10 and 14 kilometres per hour over the speed limit an official warning may be issued if you: ● Hold a current driver's licence, including probationary. ● Have not been issued with a speeding, other traffic Infringement or official warning within the previous three (3) years (a learner permit holder is not eligible for this higher speed warning). ● Have an alleged speed between 10 and 14 kilometres per hour over the speed limit, and ● Do not deny that you committed the offence.

Multiple Infringements Victoria Police has guidelines regarding the enforcement of multiple speed camera infringements issued to drivers detected at low speeds within certain freeway/highway zones.

These guidelines are being adopted to ensure that drivers are being afforded the opportunity to positively alter their driver behaviour, without being penalised by multiple infringements.

Note: These guidelines do not apply to mobile speed camera detections or fixed speed/red light safety cameras at intersections.

For the purpose of these guidelines, a Low Speed Infringement (LSI) is a speed of less than 10 km/h above the posted speed limit.
