Wrong address for ticket.

[thepom]

What happens if the policeman issues me a ticket and he has sent to my old address not my new one ?

I think the onus is on you to keep your details correct. Although they're pretty good at tracking people down, it's one of their jobs. Of course they wont bother to do that until the fines and penalties make it worthwhile...

Damned difficult to prove someone doesn't live at your address.

For fines......

The onus is on you to give the correct address. If you haven't updated your address and the ticket goes to your old address, so will any reminder and subsequent documents. That can end up costing you more.

Cops now scan your licence and the address you have online is auto populated. It's been the go since Smart devices, and more recently, iPhones.

I am not talking about anyone related to me, in case your wondering....

[Luckylegs]

In case you meant to ask. If the police have fucked summat up can i get out of paying, then the answer is. Stop fuckin whining and pay it. If not, then as you were

Own your behaviour & pay it lest you be tagged as a spineless faggot.

Lol. Thats what i was trying to say but i clearly dont have the gift

[pritch]

Considering the current state of play you could get another ticket for failing to notify a change of address? Pay the fine and update the address. Slow down or consider a radar detector.

Ahh but you have manners!

had a wee talk to a member of our local constabulary last thursday and he scanned my license and came up with an address that i haven't lived at for a number of years yet i know my address has been updated because i have updated my license and also received an infringement in the mail since living at my current address

[granstar]

Changed my address, informed them as required for holder of gun licence. They are supposed to come and check my gun safe/ security...was 10 years ago but they had no trouble when relicence time came about to find me couple years ago. Donut stained paperwork lapse, perhaps the new govt will employ more needed staff on and off the beat? :Police:

Good to hear sound advice especially for the haters. There are some prize cocks out there. Keyboard warriors that wouldn’t dare say it to your face. Spineless fucks. So update on the haters I was moving House the day of the accident which I admit was my fault and I said to the police man make sure you send it to the correct address and gave him again my details. Been a few months and still nothing so not wanting an even bigger fine thought I might ask here as free entertainment for the spineless ones.

[rastuscat]

The way it's meant to work is the officer scans your licence and up pops an address. The officer is then meant to check with you that the address is still current.

If you are busy giving the officer his/her pedigree, this step can be missed.

It's an oversight by the system but it sure doesn't mean that the issue will go away.

[ellipsis]

...last time an 'officer of collections' scanned my details, all the while herding all other motorcyclists off the road, to check their details, while fuckwits in cages were acting like fuckwits in cages, all around us I was informed that my bike wasn't registered and to turn it off and dismount to receive my taxing invoice...my bike was registered, had been for some time...the cunt was pissed off when I told him to check my label...the label is fixed in plain view, just in a position where the revenue collectors have to bend their knees to see it...no, 'sorry, my scanner told me lies', just a warning to slow down next time...I was told up the road that the collectors were there so nobody was doing anywhere near the speed limit...nothing but revenue collecting and harassment as far as I'm concerned...cunts...

lol, whining Pom. There sure are some prize cocks out there.
You could always go back to the UK & hang out with them.
You could use that dopey pommy likeness thing they do that "if I was a builder & you gave me the wrong address & I fixed your fence & got the wrong house, you wouldn't pay me, would you"
What the fuck is with them using that dopey logic?

[thepom]

Yes I have the Pom road rage like the time an arsehole tried to side swipe and I chased all the way to the end of Belfast and back and to the papanui police station only to be held off by two coppers. I was going to snap him like a fucking twig ha ha he offered to shake my hand and I offered to shake his neck. Cops kept me for ten minutes while arsewipe ran away ha ha cops do have the best stories lol

There is a history of callow yoofs posting here under the impression that because their name was spelt wrong, or some other insignificant detail on the ticket was incorrect, that they will be entitled to go full Perry Mason in front of the JPs. Your post fit that pattern thus the tenor of the replies. Had you included the additional information you have supplied now, you may have got a more sympathetic response.

Nah....

Fat chance

[AllanB]

Your first mistake was not blowing on the hot pie.

After that you pay up.

Trying to get out of it are we? Bloody Poms.

[thepom]

Nope but as I was not issued any paperwork at the time I just don’t want to end up with a bigger fine or unpaid debt against my name.

Why don't (can't .. ???) you go into any Police station, hand him/her your license ... and ask if there is any outstanding offences/infringements against you. Explain to them what you have to us ... ???

You get info straight from the horses mouth ... or would that be too easy .. ???

Yeah - but going to a police station and asking if you have any offences is a bit like going to a gay bar and asking if your bum looks fat in your leathers.

Possibly ... (has that been your experience .. ??) but at least he'd know ... for sure.

However ... being a Pom ... they'd probably won't believe him. And think he has an ulterior motive ... and lock him up anyway ...

I just have my income direct credited to to "consolidation fund"....
They just refund whatever is left at the end of the month....

Saves a lot of hassle

The alternative is to ask for drivers license printout from NZTA, it will show infringement history. Best of all, it doesn't require a personal visit to the local police station :shutup::innocent:

[thepom]

Ha ha bit of comedy is better eh. I like the nzta route ....

[thepom]

Thanks for the help, after two phone calls to nzta and the police infringement bureau it appears no infringement was issued. Perhaps he felt sorry after seeing my mashed up face. And that was before the accident.

[awayatc]

Good onya .......
