Less serious careless or negligent driving can be issued as a penalty notice the issuing authority will review on request — usually within 28 days. More serious matters are issued as a court attendance notice and go to court, where you should see a lawyer. Fight My Fine helps with the penalty-notice (review) stage only. Choose your state below.

If you’ve been given a penalty notice (an on-the-spot style fine), you can ask for it to be reviewed. If you’ve been given a court attendance notice, that is a more serious matter that goes before a magistrate — this is out of scope for our tool, and you should speak with a qualified lawyer or a free legal service.
If it was issued as a penalty notice, yes — you can ask the issuing authority to review it, usually within 28 days. If it was issued as a court attendance notice, that is a court matter and you should see a lawyer.
Not always. Less serious careless or negligent driving is often issued as a penalty notice that can be reviewed. More serious driving is dealt with in court. Your notice will indicate which one you’ve received.
One flat price per letter: $10 for parking and unpaid-toll fines, $15 for all other fine types. No percentage of your fine. There is a free case-strength check before you pay, so if your grounds are weak we tell you first.
Fight My Fine is a self-help tool, not a law firm, and this page is general information, not legal advice. You are the author and sender of every letter. The issuing authority makes the final decision on any review. For serious matters or court, speak with a qualified lawyer or a free service such as your state’s Legal Aid or community legal centre.
