BUSTED!!!

[Waylander]

Only ever gotten one ticket on the bike. Stupid auckland chick cop. Anyway might end up getting more later on and not looking forward to it.

[StoneChucker]

Im a NOOB too, ive only been riding since December 2003...

yes that was my sig, and im not going to bullshit you, ive done some crazy speeds on the road (including seeing the high side of 260kmh on the speedo a few times) On the open road i ride very quickly... but in residential i keep my speed right down, higher risk of crashing etc, and i would fell pretty gutted to hit a little kid coming out of a driveway...

Demerits last 2 years, you have 28 days to pay, then you get a letter saying you have another 28 days to pay... so you will be sweet...

hhahahahahahahaahahhaa
Oh shit, were you serious?

R1, Palmy, need any more keywords

Indiana, I try to stay at or under 9 km/h over the limit, so 59, or 109, etc....

[sedge]

OK... Sorry for scaring you... I guess no extra time and the computer wont work it out... I've got no idea

Sedge.

oh and if you do get the ticket for "breeching learner license conditions" -2 charges, over 70 km and the L plate..... looking at $1200......... but it does not add to how long you have to wait for restricted..... unless the CBTA guys are really harsh, you could still sit it after 4 months on L's

Incorrect, It is only one fine, and that is if you are breeching hte conditions of your licence... therefore if you are doing over 70kmh, without an L-plate after 10pm then you still only get a $400 fine and 25 demerit points...

I think it is only one fine/demerits for any number of breaches, but if you are speeding they can do you separately for speeding and breach of conditions (but not I think if the only breach is the over 70, because they have already done you for that in the speeding charge)

So 100kph with L plate before 10pm is a 30kph over speeding ticket
70 kph without L plate, after 10pm , carrying a pillion is one breach of conditions ticket
Cmbination can be a speeding and a breach of .

I think, But IANAL. Or a cop. But you can only be charged once for anything. They can't do you for speeding and breach of conditons if the only condition breached is the speeding. Has to be one or other.

[Pixie]

2 years for demerits, and you get two months to pay before its judge time

It has been said before but I'll repeat it. If everybody took the infringement to court rather than bending over for the authorities and paying ,this revenue collection business would not be so lucrative for the government.Every cop would have to spend so much time in court there would be a major reduction of the bastards on the roads.The donut shops would go out of business.
The courts could not handle it.
It is your choice and your responsibility to fight back!

Yeah like THAT'S going to happen dude, remember this IS New Zealanders you're talking about!!

So if you're dumb enough to break the law and get caught, rather than admitting you yourself cocked up and accept the blame and the consequences you then take it to court?

personal responsibility R.I.P

Even if your guilty as sin an know it right??
"Responsibility" has more to do with RIGHT than just being an arsehole for the sake of it.But then again, there would be more than one bastard off the road if you did do this,so maybe not such a bad idea in the case of some people.

Waaaaa

I just now (5mins ago) got pulled over for the first time.

88k in a 50k zone
$400 fine
50 Demerit points.

"would you believe I was drying the paint?"

I overtook a plaincar cop hah!

But he was quite friendly, didnt bust me for no L plate on (although I did have one in my back pack 'to put on when I got home' and an expired rego (20 days)

WAAAAA 50 DEPERIT POINTS!!!!

Sounds like a pretty good copper and you was breaking the law...

Hopefully I can use that to get out of my 1.3k misery....

Cheers one and all for your support, Its not the $$ that bothers me so much but the 50 demerit points. thats the huge issue here.\

But, I have this theory that when you start riding you have a 3 month 'buffer' period where you are invulnerable to the law.
I got mine the day after my three month period ended (IE on the 16th and I got my license jan 15th)

Get a faster bike...80ish is a joke!!!!
