How Queensland mum took on speeding fine and won

People who believe they've been issued speeding fines wrongly are being urged to raise the matter with authorities.

Queensland mother-of-two Renea said she was fined $266 and three demerit points for travelling at 113km/h in a 100km/h zone.

But she said there was one problem.

"There were two cars in the picture and I know I wasn't speeding," she said.

Committed to proving her innocence, she called the Road Safety Camera Office.

The fine specified that her car was in lane two, closest to the speed camera, but Renea said that wasn't the case – and the man she was on the phone with agreed.

Late this afternoon, she had the relief of being told that she was in the right, and her ticket was torn in two.

Andrew Wiseman of Wiseman Lawyers urged people to follow Renea's lead if they believed they had been wrongly penalised.

"Contact the camera office, if you're of genuine belief it's not you or there's an error," he said.

"A lot of the time, common sense will prevail."

The common misconception is that people need to head to court to fight a fine, but the Traffic Infringement Office is the best place to start.

"I would say always check it," Renea said.

The Traffic Infringement Office can be reached on 1300 360 610. People need to contact them within 28 days of receiving the fine they wish to dispute.
