Notes:

Issue date vs offence date

  • Infringements may not be issued on the date the offence was detected.  However, the infringement notice will include both dates, the date that the offence occurred (offence date) and the date the infringement notice was issued (issue date), depending on the purpose of the data.
  • The issue date is always after the offence date. In the case of road safety cameras this is because of the rigorous verification procedures undertaken to ensure the validity of the infringement notice.
  • All data on the Cameras Save Lives website is based on the offence date, unless otherwise indicated.
  • Offences detected in one quarter may not have an infringement issued until the next quarter.

Alleged speed vs detected speed

  • Infringements issued for a speeding offence include an alleged speed and a detected speed.
  • The detected speed is the speed at which the road safety camera detected the vehicle travelling.
  • The alleged speed is always less than the detected speed because of the legislative tolerances applied in the motorist's favour. This means that a person is issued with an infringement notice for travelling at less than the speed at which they were detected.
  • For fixed digital safety cameras, the legislative tolerance is two km/h less than the detected speed or two per cent less if travelling over 100 km/h.
  • For mobile cameras, the legislative tolerance is three km/h less than the detected speed or three per cent less if travelling over 100 km/h.
  • All data on the Cameras Save Lives website is based on the alleged speed, unless otherwise indicated.
