According to the survey, a total of 476,879 traffic tickets were issued in 2021; an increase of 18.0 per cent when compared to 2020. Traffic fines totalled more than $968.0 million.
The main offences for which motorists were ticketed were: not wearing a seatbelt which accounted for 27.4 per cent of all tickets issued. This was followed by excessive speeding which accounted for 10.7 per cent of the issued tickets.
