Not putting a vehicle in your name?

[Coldrider]

Explain to me whom is then?
And what evidence they have to provide in court to prove this?

MR3 Certificate of Registration states:
This certificate shows that ownership has been transferred into your name and does not constitute legal ownwership.


A cash receipt is what would be valid for me.

Sounds good to me. Then I can park my unlicensed unwarranted car in the CBD you'll get all the tickets! A couple of months of that and you'll be getting a torrent of love letters from the Auckland Council! Being stationary vehicle offences they become the registered owner's problem, nott he drivers.

Where do I sign up for this money saving scheme?

Not to mention the speed camera fines and everyone that I bump in to at Pak'n save Car park and never leave my details..

Also every time I use Wilson parking and leave without paying the registered owner will get the bill every time ! !

Crazy Steve.

If this is really the case then there must be some sort of fine or prevention for leaving it in someone else's name?

I left my cars name under the previous owner for over 4 years.There was a debt on the vehicle,the finance company cleared it into my possession,but wouldn't lift the debt over the vehicle.The vehicle has little value,and after not being repossessed in 4 years,finally decided to put it in my name.I hadn't paid the rego for nearly a year,and now the unpaid rego is on the previous owner too.He did a runner to OZ,owns nothing but debt,and is probably dead by now (he was in his '70's)

That's interesting. Did you ever get pulled over by popo and if so what did you tell them?

[Motu]

No,never...and if I did I'd just say it was my uncles car,and give them the name and address.I don't know about speeding or parking tickets....as I never had any sent to my address.I never leave anything in the car,in case it's not there when I come back.

$500 each for the former registered owner and the new registered owner.

[ttmadness]

shite that's harsh as!!

[Max Preload]

Yeah, but I've never heard of it being enforced. Probably because it's too hard to prove in many cases.

[blackdog]

as an aside

i sold the wifes audi, to a young fella on an OE. the conditions of sale (price was discounted to reflect this) that he was to pay the registration update as it had expired a few months earlier when we finished using it.

good little boy he was, went straight to the PO, changed the ownership, and registered the car.


they automatically gave him his reg from time of purchase, not from the time of expiry, and sent me the bill for the balance.

i'm still chasing the little fucker up

A new law will come into effect on 1 April 2011 .................................

hopefully it will really work and a false Id or license will still not get them the info they looking for!! We are dealing with crims here!!

Hopefully this is the case Max!!

In my case!
My sister owns my road bike and I have it insured for me to ride!! (because of my marriage shit goin on). So I'm not the legal owner but am the insured rider and have been pulled up, haven't had a problem!!

My classic bike used to be registered to my PO box for many years (physical and post addresses) but they refused not to put a physical address on last time around! Stuff that! So now as below

Now that brings me to my MX bikes (and now joined by the classic)!
My car & trailer are registered to an empty lot down the road as I didn't want some poor pricks house broken into when someone sees 20K worth of MX bikes on the back of the ute, takes my rego on the motorway and walks into the post office with their false Id, pays the $3.50 and gets my address without even having to follow me home!! Mailing address still the PO box so I get the fines and rego reminders.

Nothing I own has my true physical address I ain't losing my Z1R because of their fucked up system
(even if originally they are only after the MX bikes)!
They can come get me, fine me or whatever I don't give a shit!!


PS: Oh and all of the cops I know that ride register their bikes to their work place ie the cop shop!
If that ain't proof the system is crap I don't know what is!!!
