JUDGMENT
__________________
1. No summons was issued in this case. The appellant was willing to pay the fixed penalty but was late, so he had to pay the additional penalty of $320.
2. There is no statutory provision for the payment of the $440 costs.
3. In the present case there was no justification to penalise the appellant $440 costs. The conviction stands but I reduce the amount of the costs to $80.
