Fines and fees up in SA from July REGISTERING a car may be cheaper, but South Australians will pay higher speeding fines and more for a driver's licence under revised charges this new financial year. The cost of public transport will also increase, although water supply and usage charges are set to fall. The removal of a one-off water rebate will result in the average water bill rising by 2.4 per cent. Most of the changes were announced in the recent state budget. From July 1, South Australians will pay $148 a year less on each car they register, thanks to a 20 per cent decrease in compulsory third party insurance premiums. A monthly payment option will also be introduced to allow people to better budget for the expense. Speeding fines will rise by about three per cent with the penalty for speeding by 10 km/h or less to be $155. The fine for speeding by 45 km/h or more will be $927, up by $27. Public transport multi-trip tickets will rise $1 to $32.90 while the cost of renewing a driver's licence for 10 years will increase from $380 to $390. Premier Jay Weatherill said the budget changes aimed to help households manage their cost of living.
