Hello.

Just that. Nothing else.

It would.
However, the current situation where a person needs to take time off work to show up (the actual Administration of Justice) is more onerous than the $400 Fine I recieved.
Next time, I will just pay my unemployed mate to go in my place, while I go to work as per normal, and get whatever Fine is dished out.
NSW should change the law to not require you to go in person, but until it does, it is better to do this kind of fraud.
