Pretty normal here too.
Fucking pricks are using fines to subsidise the budget (seriously!).
I received a fine for $160 for not paying a toll road. Now the toll roads are owned privately and I have one of their stupid fucking e-tags yet the police sent me an infringement notice. Ended up wasting many hours of my time to get out of that fine, however the one thing that really pissed me off was that a private company was using the police to send out infringement notices!
Another example is I got a speeding fine, paid it and thought that was that. Three months later I receive a fine for $900+ for not nominating the driver (company car). This was an accident, it was not a thought of 'ooo i'll get out of points on my licence' - just a matter of being busy and not taking the time to read through the mumbo fucking jumbo that every cockbag wants you to decipher these days.
Could go on for days about friends and family members fines for absolute bullshit reasons.
