Surrendering your plate when putting rego on hold

[nodrog:Me]

How do I go about class A then? As far as I can see a ZZR600 doesn't fit this criteria.

you go into the post office and say "im registering it as class A"

The legislation was and is aimed squarely at those attempting to get around the law by using their vehicles on the road with the rego on hold.
The ONLY reason that is acceptable for doing so is if you are directly on your way to a WOF test and even then they most liukely will issue the ticket and you have to prove you were indeed directly to a WOF. The only acceptable proof is a WOF check sheet.. The directly to a place of repair story is fine but again you'll need proof - unless its outside normal buisiness hours or the bikes parked somewhere in which case they will say tough luck-pay the ticket.
What will happen is that plate will be loaded in the database and when you go to renew the hold they will either refuse it or will request the plate surrendered.
Please don't shoot the messenger. I move a fair few vehicles with no rego/wof with no issues

When will we learn.

The reason they keep making things harder and harder is coz we keep trying to wrought the system. They create silly little rules to deal with the problems caused by the problems they perceive.

The plate-hand-in issue is caused by the boy racer crowd, who drove their cars while on hold a lot earlier than we did. Long before the bikers started protesting the ACC levies. The gubbermint then created a rule to try to combat that, and we all got clobbered by it.

Just watch. One day we'll get so bloody clever at wroughting the system that they'll take away our ability to place a reg on hold at all.

Then most people who do it, genuine users, won't be able to due to the actions of a few who are busy being smart arses.

Harupmh.

I've got a plate on hold for a bike that I sold (in bits as a racebike): they can have that.

and I usually put the roadbike on hold for three months or so over winter. its due on 21 June, so I will see wha' 'appen.

If I'm going to rego hold on line and I'm a chronic offender of no rego, how do I get the plate in the computer?

Concern; if you put your rego on hold every winter how long before some bright spark decides you are abusing the system and starts asking for the plates to discourage you?

Umm. Bright Spark? Employed where exactly?

1. Shred the plate with a kitchen blender. You'll need a really good blender though, like those sold on the planet Retyequer. These are the only NZTA approved plate-blenders.
2. Place shreddings onto a scanner.
3. Scan shreddings.
4. Remove shreddings from scanner.
5. Cover your cereal in shreddings.
6. Email cereal and shreddings to Steven Joyce.
7. Reconstitute shreddings with a reconstituter you also picked up when buying your Retyequer blender.
8. Replace plate on the bike, keep using it.

Easy solutions always the best.

Is that entirely legal?
