What traffic offences have you been ticketed for?

**axdout** · 8th September 2011, 20:21

no wof, Learner unaccompanied, exceeded 50, failure to display lic label in prescribed manner x2, restricted carries unauthorised passenger x4, no reg x3, no wof, drove without appropriate lights displayed, failure to produce licence x2, failure to stop at stop sign, unsafe changing of lanes, Driver failing to wear safety helmet. All over a 3 year period and have never lost my Licence due to demerits. Drip feed payments of $10 dollars a week until the balance is paid off, by the time the offence is paid for the demerits have been wiped from the 2 year rule. Ministry of justice ftw.

Loitering with intent to cross a pedestrian crossing (by night).

Yeah, bastards set me up. There I wuz, minding my own business, just standing there. And this big mean Popo stitched me up.

I got 13 years prison, and a banana milkshake.

Is there somewhere I can look up my driving record?
It would be easier to copy and paste it in here

Did you drive outside of your work licence conditions? (Could you use it to go get milk etc?)

All travel had to be work related, but the judge and police commented it was one of the most relaxed ones they had granted. I could travel 6 days a week, throughout greater Auckland (I provided a map and boundaries, anywhere from Papakura to Coatesville ish) between 9am and midnight. One bike only, all trips logged.

I was naughty a couple of times, getting home just after midnight (once because I'd forgotten my paperwork, and had to carry it at all times), but on the whole, I couldn't risk losing that, so pretty much obeyed it to the letter. Each sheet I made logged 30 trips. I used up 10 sheets in 10 weeks. Occasionally, I would grab a subway or something en-route between places...

Most of the above… And then some.
Put it this way, my last fine was a court imposed $1000 and I only just kept my licence.
So happy I sped on the way home.
I learnt nothing!

Speed 126km/h on my old 250 trying to pass a long line of cars and a bus (guess who was sitting behind the bus in a mufti), then warning from a very nice lady, Radar detector saved me from a few just over the limit ones and then lazed @132km/h but I honestly thought I was only going 120 max. Now hoping to never get another one as I cant afford the fuel to go that fast.

Otherwise I try and follow all the other rules and keep my nose clean.
