In Australia, if a company fails to nominate a speeding fine for a company car - either refusing or not maintaining records - then the fine is multiplied compared to that for an individual.



That sounds very easy to skirt around - just have a willing driver be assigned the fine by default along with a "bonus" awarded for each instance of fining.


That doesn't work due to "demerit points". You can only get caught speeding a handful of times a year before you lose your license, so a large company would need a lot of people to take the fall for you. And considering asking someone to take the blame is probably a crime, not exactly something you can openly recruit for.

Just forwarding it to the original driver would make far more sense.
