Application for Official Warning

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is X. As a Chinese tourist, I had a tour in Melbourne on Feb 23, 2015. Recently I received an infringement notice from the Road Safety Camera Enforcement Agency: Victoria Police. I am writing this letter to apply for the official warning instead of penalty due.

First of all, I do not deny that I committed the offence. Because it was my first time driving a car inAustralia, throughout the whole driving I tried to make the speed control at 80 km / h on the road carefully. At the time of the offence, I was driving in a single-lane road and the car was automatic. Because being fixed in one position a few long time, there were some leg numbness. A little more power could make the car a little acceleration uncarefully. When viewing the speedometer faster, I reduced the speed, it was too late. I must admit that I was not paying enough attention to the speedometer.

I realize that this is no excuse, but I am hoping to apply for the internal review and your kind re-consideration based on my good driving record. I have not had any traffic infringement in the last five years in china. This is my first time driving in a foreign country, I had three day’s driving, in Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road, and I had one traffic violation only. So I am very carefully always, definitely not intentional speeding.

I am a teacher, complying with the legislation is basic quality. I believe that I have been a responsible driver, which can be proved by the fact that I have never been involved in any traffic accident since I obtained my license, and I have never had my driver’s license cancelled or suspended, never speeding in my country.

I do apologize for not being careful enough and I admit that I did not abide by the speed limit at the time of the offence. But I do hope that you can kindly withdraw my infringement notice and give me an official warning instead. Your time and consideration of this is greatly appreciated. Enclosed is my detail information of infringement notice.

Yours sincerely,

X
