    Angry Ticketing of Bikes - Footpath and Wof/Rego tickets

    today i got a $200 ticket for not having a having a WOF which i do infact have diplayed (and no sign of them moving/checking it), and $40 for parking out of the way - i don't see those bins getting a ticket

    you bet i'm angry

    apparently i have to write to them disputing the tickets, and then if they disagree i have to appear in court at 10am during the week to state my case

    all this at my cost, and i'll be missing important lectures.


    on the upside, i went to the testing station to get another WOF sticker to stick in the front, claiming the old one to be stolen. my current wof expires in december 2007, the new one expires december 2008 - saves me getting two warrants / $50 but i will have to anyway for insurance

    ring up the city council, get put thru to the parking people, get their fax number (if it aint on their website)

    A while back they were ticketing bikes on symonds for not displaying wof's (well, more of a case that the guy wasnt looking, i pointed out them on 5 bikes, 2 of which he'd ticketed), rang the council and was told that when they receive the ticket, if they fax in their wof sticker then they'll drop the fine...



    as for the parking ticket... we're aiming to attend the next transport committee meeting to oppose this sort've ticketing, dont know what you can do for now but you're a good example of whats happening if nothing else

    That sucks man, i dont really see how they can get you for it.
    I have shot into AUT many moons ago on a GB with no rego, no wof, no plate and no exhaust and not got a ticket

    Didn't know the council could ticket you for not displaying a WOF, just say it fell off and post them a photocopy of your current one to prove you were up to-date at the time of the ticket. As for the other ticket, that could be a hard one to argue cause you can't park on a footpath.

    Farkers!

    What was the parking officer number? I have a big problem with officer 88 personally, he's a nasty little man!

    Will dig out my parking policy guidelines I got from the council... We'll check tickets properly issued.

    My feeling is that you should get off the no WOF ticket - provided you produce evidence of current WOF.

    PM me if you want a hand - I'm a veteran at this bollocks...

    Man that blows, I had a chat to one of those parking nazi's not so long ago and he said so long as it doesn't cause an obstruction then you should be okay. In this case it seems the parking warden must have not got his morning coffee and fag as to me you look nothing like causing an obstruction.

    With regard to writing in to get the ticket cancelled, I have had good success. Just ensure to state your case, read the bylaw he has done you with and go about picking it apart. Use the photos as evidence. Say the wof was behind the plate. If you have to follow the law, we should all have screens on our bikes and scoots so we can legally display the rego - but that ain't never gonna happen now ehh... lol

    Also nice work on scoring the wof for another year.

    Do the UK trick of putting a sock over your numberplate if you park it on the pavement. Only a copper is allowed to touch your motorcycle and therefore they can't issue a ticket unless they can see the numberplate.

    Okay, the ticket for the warrant sucks but you are parking on the footpath on a busy road where there are plenty of wardens. You're lucky it doesn't get stolen with all the scum hanging around the High Court.

    I know, it's just funny you got a ticket when you were parked next to it.

    sadly unless they entered it in the system as a year long warrant (if they can even do this... doubt it) then ya wont get away with it if its checked wont be able to reg ya bike as their system will tell them that its not warrented
