what he said ... but get some legal advise before you front up in court to challenge a poorly written fine. They might argue it was one of six notices and wasn't required to be dated but the ticket would have to states it's one page of multi-page notice.
You may want to get a lawyer to help you draft a letter stating that you'll pay fines 1-5 but will challenge fine 6. Magistrates always like it when you cop some kind of punishment.
..on second reading of the post - are you sure they're not:
- driving a defective vehicle
- making an illegal modification to a vehicle
which would be two different fines.
And if you want to challenge the defect notice, the best thing is again to talk to a real lawyer and also get a safety-certificate style inspection by an engineer (not by a dodgy certificate issuer) to see if the alleged defect is infact a defect.
good luck - hope you've got deep pockets? because good justice usually costs.
cheers,
Charles.
