Fines bonanza as Canberrans report Canberrans

Police have issued more than 1000 fines totalling more than $500,000 since the expansion of online reporting last year.

Since May 2024, Canberrans have been able to provide dash-cam or mobile phone footage of driving offences to the online reporting portal.

Between July 2024 and June 2025, police say they have received more than 1800 reports and issued more than 1100 traffic infringement notices. Almost 250 cautions were also issued.

The most common infringement was traffic light offences, followed by driving without due care and negligent driving, and then overtaking offences.

People making reports to police via the online form must be able to provide video or photographic evidence of the witnessed alleged driving offence when requested by ACT police. And may be required to provide a formal witness statement to police and attend court as a witness to confirm the information provided in the witness statement.
