To be disqualified: Contesting demerits?

[quazimoto]

dont worry about it too much, bikers dont get pulled over unless there doin something stupid, so just remember to be extra carefull during your three months =)

[FJRider]

How about just slow down for a couple of years?

Three months walking .. slow enough ... ???

[FJRider]

Um yep, i read that when you posted it earlier. Are you basing your info on the info on this site or experience.

...that same site (along with the nzta site) also says the 100 points must be within a two year period. Whether they are removed or not is neither here nor there, based on what was written anything older than two years from the latest offense can surely not be factored in the calculation

ANYBODY that bases their knowledge on information gained in THIS site ...

And yes ACTUAL experience ...

What YOU choose to believe is YOUR choice ...

As the site states ... the two year period STARTS when the LAST demerit points were awarded .. NOT the FIRST ....

Which PART of that don't you understand ... ???

Dont believe me ... try it YOUR way ... walking IS good for you ...

[FJRider]

Interesting approach by the authorities. "We sent you a letter. Didn't receive it? Too bad"

Perhaps people should use that approach when sending in a cheque for paying speeding taxes?
"I posted the $$$'s. You didn't receive it? Too bad".

Those that dont live at the address stated on their rego ... can't blame the postal service (or lack of) ... or the "authorities" ...

What you talking about willis!

I was talking about the sit you linked, not kiwibiker ya knob.

...as for "my way" I'm just quoting another sentence from the same site as you and trying to reconcile them in my my mind.

Section 88(4), LT Act 1998:

Demerit points recorded under subsection (1) have effect on and from the date of the commission of the offence for which the points are recorded.



Section 91, LT Act 1998:

1 Cancellation and reinstatement of demerit points

• (1) When 2 years have elapsed since the commission of an offence in respect of which demerit points were recorded, the entry of the points made in respect of that offence ceases to have effect in relation to the person who committed that offence; but if demerit points were recorded in respect of 2 or more offences committed by that person, the entry ceases to have effect when 2 years have elapsed since the commission of the most recent of those offences

So if you have a 2nd offence (say 1 year 364 days after the first one), the demerits from your first offence then attract another 2 year period. And delaying the result by what ever means, still attracts demerits from the date of offence.

Hey!!! Whaddaya know!!! After reading this a number of times and then looking up the act myself, I figured out how to make sense of this.

I assume the key, and what I hadn't realized before (and what fjrider was probably trying get at) is that demerits actually a single incrementing/rollin counter rather than an array of individual values.

...bugger so full circle to where I joined this thread. My demerit total was last incremented (to 75) August 2009 so I better keep behavin for another three months

Another long shot is to go to the issuing officer and speak to him. explain that after receiving the ticket, you finally did the right thing and got your restricted, and ask if there is anything you can do. I highly doubt youll get anywhere.

how do i contact the issuing officer?

[DrunkenMistake]

how do i contact the issuing officer?

Get pulled over in the same place?

[tigertim20]

how do i contact the issuing officer?

his details will be on the ticket. go into the local police station, show them the ticket and go from there. probably easier to just pay it though

[Ricardo S]

an idea yes, don't think it would be really healthy though

yeah, it definitely would be easier to pay. but 95 demerit points in one go, taking in to consideration that i wasn't speeding or doing anything particularly dangerous other than riding on the motorway is a bit of a too great consequence to go without trying and having a chat with him. btw does the officer have any authority to change a ticket that he issued previously?

cheers

Wow, I have just leant something on KB.

Now i am going to have a cry as i thought i was coming up to get my 50 points back but now have to wait until Oct 2012.

what makes me extremely sad about it is that for the last 7 or 8 years i never ever had even 1 demerit point and never bothered about it - didn't even knew about it until my brother had a look at the ticket that was handed to me and explained about the points.
