    How to use these offence pages

    Read the notice label first, then narrow the real issue

    Most people search with a broad label like speeding, parking, red light, or mobile phone, but the next step usually depends on a narrower detail on the notice itself. A school-zone speeding allegation is not the same as a routine speed-band issue. A council parking notice is not handled the same way as a camera-detected offence. These pages are there to help you separate those paths quickly.

    Open the offence page first when you are still working out what the notice is really about. Once that is clear, move to the calculator, demerit, suspension, or review page that matches the actual risk. That order matters because the bigger issue is often licence exposure, not just the amount written on the fine.

    The fastest way to avoid a wrong turn

    Match the wording

    Use the wording printed on the notice, not your memory of what happened on the road.

    Check the consequence

    Work out whether the real risk is money, points, suspension exposure, or a driver-nomination issue.

    Only then check review

    Review pages are more useful after the offence type, sign, camera type, or issuing authority is clear.

    More useful places to start

    Open one of these if the broad category is already clear and you want to jump straight to a narrower page.
