Speeding and red light camera offences earn demerit points

Under the road safety laws, if you're caught by a red light camera, you'll get demerit points. If you're caught speeding, you'll get demerit points. And if you're caught by a red light camera speeding through a red light, you'll get hit twice, with demerit points and expiation fees for each offence.

Demerit points and penalties apply.

The registered owner (or contact owner, if a joint ownership) will incur the penalties for any speeding and/or red light offences, unless they:

• Complete a Statutory Declaration nominating the driver of the vehicle (who will be liable for the penalty); or
• Provide reasons that satisfy the South Australia Police (SAPOL) why they cannot identify the driver and the steps they have taken in attempting to identify the driver.

A corporate fee applies for speeding and/or red light offences if a company fails to nominate the driver at the time of the offence.
