    Now the law states demerits accrue from the date of the offence.

    You are both correct. She was not.
    The helpful people at NZTA also confirmed this today. Should have asked them the first time...

    I'll just pay the ticket today and get on with it. That way I'll hopefully have a clean licence back in my hand before my planned trip in February. At least I'll save some money (more than the fine) by putting the rego on hold on both my bikes for the next 3 months

    Maybe these new supermarket style tickets could have this issue clarified in the information section on the back:

    e.g. ...if the offence is one to which demerit points apply, demerit points will be recorded against you upon payment of the infringement fee but will accrue from the date of the offence.

    I fixed it for ya. Sorry you've got this hanging over your head coming in to summer (been there kind of, it sucks arse) but at least you know where you stand. Remember to allow time for the wheels to turn slowly - you may want to keep one bike rego'd in 3 monthly blocks?

    Do you get demerits for no wof or rego?

    Someone today said you do but I have searched & can't find anything.
    The reason i'm asking is that it seems silly that if you get done for no rego twice a year it's cheaper than getting regoed in the first place...

    Yes you now get demerits for driving a vehicle that is on exemption, if ticketed by a policeman. No demerits for tickets by meter maid.

    Yep those are the same ones that came up when I researched it. I guess there aren't any demerit points unless they haven't updated the website...
