Minor driving offences could leave Queenslanders out of pocket with traffic fines set to increase from today.
Club Traffic and Safety Engineering Manager Gregory Miskowycz revealed that some infringements are expected to more than double from today.
“From the start of the new financial year the State Government is significantly increasing penalties for some critical road safety offences,” he said.
“The price of not wearing a seatbelt is set to more than double from $413 to $1078, coming into line with the cost of using your mobile phone behind the wheel."- Gregory Miskowycz
“The fine for running a red light will increase from $413 to $575 and penalties for speeding will also rise.”
