Vince Colosimo is spotted cycling the streets of Melbourne while puffing on a cigarette as he continues to fight $65k in traffic fines he allegedly racked up while disqualified

Actor Vince Colosimo was spotted making his way around Melbourne on Saturday via his bicycle, after previously being disqualified from driving.

The Wog Boy star, 56, kept a low profile as he zoomed around town while puffing away on a cigarette. 

Vince wore a pair of tight black jeans and a black hooded jacket and dark sunglasses as he rode around in the bike lanes on the side of the road.

The star could be set to return to court as he continues to contest allegations he was issued 169 traffic fines while disqualified from driving.

The Wog Boy Forever star is accused of racking up a whopping $65,215 in unpaid fines dating back to 2012.

It was reported in March that Fines Victoria would be applying for an enforcement warrant against Colosimo in Melbourne Magistrates Court, The Herald Sun reported at the time. 

Officers could be granted the power to search for and seize his property or vehicles to sell and settle the outstanding debts, the report added.

A $60.20 administration fee will also be added to his outstanding fines.

In October, Colosimo was forced to make an embarrassing exit from the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, rushing down a laneway in an effort to avoid a media pack.

Colosimo had pleaded guilty to drug and unlicensed driving and failing to give his real name to police.

The ugly 2021 incident during Melbourne’s harsh Covid-19 lockdowns saw him convicted and fined again – adding another $2500 to his growing tally of fines.

Film and legal sources close to Colosimo have told Daily Mail Australia the star disputed the number and total dollar values of the fines he allegedly racked up.

‘I don’t even think it’s possible to run up that many fines… it sounds extraordinarily large to have that many fines,’ one source said.

Colosimo had been in court over his well-publicised drug-driving charges, which saw him pretend to be his twin brother when pulled over by police.

Word of the unpaid fines appeared to come as a shock to both Colosimo and his lawyer George Vassis, who quickly turned around to address his client seated behind him.

Prosecutor Bianca Moleta told the court Colosimo had lost his licence again twice through demerit points while disqualified for fines incurred and issued to him in recent years while his licence was cancelled.

‘Although he wasn’t charged, that’s a reflection of the Traffic Camera Office not essentially communicating with Victoria Police, but those are recorded on his demerit point history after his licence was cancelled,’ she said.

A source told Daily Mail Australia Colosimo maintained he had not incurred the traffic fines himself because he had loaned his Peugeot to a ‘mate’.

Colosimo and his legal team are said to be in the process of working through the fines to ascertain not only how they accumulated, but who might have been behind the wheel and when.

The court heard Colosimo blames his mate for incurring the lion’s share of the fines.

It is understood Colosimo further claims most of the notifications for the alleged infringements were sent to old addresses after several home relocations and Covid-19 disruptions at Vicroads.
