Where the hell did my WoF go?

**mattian** · 30th June 2010, 16:37

I checked my rego and warrant about 3 days ago because I knew they were both coming up to be renewed. Got my bike out just now to give it a damn good clean and my friggin Wof ticket is missing. It was there 3 days ago! I can't for the life of my imagine how it could have gone missing unless its been lifted, which I doubt. anyway, its due on the 10th day of next month.

In the unlikely event that I do get pulled over, can I say that my warrant is still valid until then? even without having the little slip. Can they check that? Of course I will renew it before its due. Just means about a week of riding without the actual slip of paper.
If I do get a fine, anyone know what I would be looking at?

Just go and get a copy of it from the issuer.

The parking wardens may give you a fine if you leave your bike parked on their turf. If you do get 3T with a cop they'll just do a QVR and it'll show up as the WOF being current.

Do you know if it will cost me much?

**bsasuper** · 30th June 2010, 17:01

All the weird stuff happens in Auckland...

What is the chance of you being pulled over or done over by a parking warden between now and the 10th of next month? Therein lies your answer - do you feel lucky?

Not a lot and one hell of a lot less than a fine for not displaying. Of course you could probably get off a ticket if you then went and got a copy. You call it. How likely are you to be picked up for it?

Yeah ... a lot of weird crap happens in Auckland. Not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere!

yep, you're right, thanks for that. I ride my bike every day so, my chances of getting snapped are better than average. However, having said that, in the 2 years that I have ridden my bike "full-time" as my only form of transport I have only been pulled over once and waved through 3 checkpoints.

I would just leave it, if you get pulled over tell them that it has only just disappeared and you will get a replacement pronto. Even if you do get a ticket I would have thought if you go and get a replacement sticker straight away they will let the ticket go.
