Melbourne man contests $1,200 seatbelt fine accuracy

A Melbourne man, Mark Johnson, is contesting a $1,200 fine for an alleged seatbelt violation captured by a roadside camera. He claims his wife was wearing her seatbelt correctly during their trip to Australia Zoo in August. Johnson argues that the camera images are unclear and misleading, making it appear that his wife was not wearing a seatbelt. He has faced difficulties appealing the fine, including a potential driver's license suspension. A lawyer noted an increase in claims from drivers contesting similar fines, citing challenges in interpreting the camera images. Johnson's case highlights concerns over the accuracy of roadside camera enforcement.
