I'm wondering if law students are practising arguing on internett forums these days?
There's always a thread or two going that get hijacked by some pedantic fuckwits arguing about strawmen and shit.
Some credit due, at least this guys started his own thread not hijacked someone else's
Okay I do not condone speeding, antisocial behaviour or breaking the law in any way or form.
Speed cameras are here and will increase exponentially in the coming years FACT.
Example the parents are out for the day one of the kids pops home and legally uses the car bingo speed camera action, normal family household. (Please don’t get to wrapped up in this fictional scenario)
Been working away really busy earning to keep the IRD happy three weeks later open the letter no one did it that car went for a drive on its own.
Man up lie and take it on the chin pay the $30.00 and forget it, one big happy family and do I wear the trousers in our house hold.
Ten years down the line I apply to renew something a vocal number of people state I should not have who knows what hoops we will have to jump through then.
In that ten years I may have ten or forty speeding convictions, I have been advised this has been used in other parts of the world to demonstrate you are a careless and unfit individual. Indeed in some parts of the world a speeding conviction warrants a letter of warning your toys may be removed.
Bugger nobody mention that at the time?![]()

Timaru police have quietly revoked about six firearms licences from people facing unrelated charges over the past year.
Following an initiative by Nelson/Tasman police to target disorderly behaviour, Timaru police are sending notices to offenders warning them they could lose their firearms licence or be refused a licence if they apply for one.
Timaru police firearms officer John Wainwright said anyone who held a firearms licence had to be "fit and proper" in the eyes of the law. If they broke the law through disorderly behaviour or traffic offences that could put their firearms licence in jeopardy.
Police had discretion on whether to proceed with revocation.
Mr Wainwright used the example of a young man whose driver's licence had been suspended seven times due to excess demerit points for speeding. He was refused a firearms licence.
In the past year 18 Timaru offenders had received notices which outlined the reasons for possible revocation. Offenders could appeal, citing reasons why they should retain their licence.
"The question is are they fit and proper if they are not abiding by the law? Are they responsible?" Mr Wainwright said.

...you can argue the point in a court of law if you feel your license was declined because of traffic offences: you present a pretty extreme example.
As others have pointed out: you are the legal owner of the vehicle and are ultimately liable for it.
It looks like you should start your support group of like-minded whingers.
Funnily enough I just got one in the mail for going 56km in a 50. Can I be 100% sure it was me driving the vehicle? Not really but 99% sure.
Am I going to pay the $30? Yes
