Police have streamlined the process for the way infringement notices are issued for driving offences at the roadside.
Instead of handing out paper infringement notices at the roadside, Police officers now issue infringements electronically through their mobile devices. The infringement will then be sent directly to the person’s postal address.
This reduces the amount of paperwork for Police staff, and provides a greater opportunity to engage in conversations with motorists regarding safer driving behaviour.
Please note: the infringement notice will not be handed to you; it will be posted to the address that you have provided.
The process is the same for safe speed camera infringement notices (static camera or red light camera), these infringements will be entered against the registered owner of the vehicle and posted to the owner address as supplied to the New Zealand Transport Agency.
Infringement fee(s) are payable within 28 days from the offence date on the original notice. Once this period has expired a reminder notice will be issued, giving you a further 28 days to finalise the matter with Police. If unpaid by the final due date; the matter will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice.
