Here, in Sydney, Australia, a friend drove his car 11 kms over the speed limit. The road was empty at night, but a camera on a metal pole, by the roadside, took a photo of her car. A week later, a letter was sent to him. It demanded he pay over $500 to the government, for speeding. If he doesn't pay it, they will take him to court, and he could lose his license. He is lucky it wasn't on a holiday, as the fines can double on holidays. Australian fines, fees, licenses, are worse than bribes.
In the US you can just go to court to challenge the speeding ticket and usually the police officer doesn't bother to show up so the ticket is dropped. Not sure about Australia.
