A Sydney man has had a fine time handing over almost NZ$30,000 to clear more than 180 traffic tickets.
The eastern suburbs man is one of more than 61,000 people who have taken advantage of a NSW government amnesty to pay about NZ$86 million in overdue fines.
Finance Minister Greg Pearce said 320,779 late fines were paid during the six-week moratorium on enforcement, or late, fees, which ended on July 31.
Fines for traffic offences such as using a mobile phone while driving netted NZ$21.5 million, while 77,300 parking fines worth NZ$12 million were paid.
About NZ$9.6 million worth of overdue speeding fines were paid, along with NZ$5.8 million for offences on public transport and NZ$1.67 million in toll evasion fines.
