I was driving a company owned car that incurred a speeding infringement. The company did not pass the infringement notice to me until 43 days after the notice was issued. According to the Queensland Revenue Office, the company should take action within 28 days.
If the transfer is not transferred by the due date, it is referred to the State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER), for debt collection.
Now the company are trying to coerce me to accept the penalty to get them out of trouble.
Who is at fault in this situation, the owner of the vehicle, or the driver? As the driver, where do I stand from a legal point of view?
