[Onetap]

This morning i purchased a years worth of rego and im about to call them, what excuse should i give?

*I apologize, i was unaware that my registration label was not on my bike, i have printed a new one which is now fitter

Any ideas?? Suggestions??

Won't they then just check and go "Ha, he just bought the rego the morning after, good try!"?

Heya man,
Was your rego expired when you got the ticket and how long ago did it expire. If it expired only a few days ago there could be a chance you can say you did not realise and that you went and got it renewed this morning, as if you are pulled over the officer most times gives you a week or two to get it done. If it expired in the last few days.

It expired on the 2nd of June, i don't think they know that though, the fine was for not displaying my rego, not for not having a valid one.
Ive just bought a full years worth this morning, photo copied it too.

was thinking of writing in saying that i didnt realize it wasnt on my bike and that ive printed a new one that is now on my bike. good idea?

or should i say that it was on my bike? and put it behind my rego plate and take a picture?

Who issued the ticket?
If it was the Police then you are already SCREWED cause they will know it's expired.
If it was any of the councils muppets who issue this sort of ticket because they can, then they might not know your rego is expired but then again Nor do they care, it's revenue and it's easy.
Simple answer, keep your bike registered and put the bloody thing somewhere where it can be seen.

yeah like they haven't got access to that info

Here's an idea; take it like a man.

You got a ticket for not displaying a rego and you weren't. They prob took photo's.... Tell them the truth and that you have your rego now, they may actually be more helpful. Lie to them an dthey'll prob just enforce it.

I think you're missing the point already raised. They will be able to look up the rego details, will see that you've just re-registered this morning, and will know that you're lying.

By the way, the rego label shows date and time of purchase. Sending them a photocopy or photo is simply compounding your proposed lies.

Tell them the truth - there's a (very) small chance they'll drop it.

I HAD noisy neighbors (bloody renters) and I could almost be rest assured they dont pay their regos - not enough money left over after they paid for their booze. so what I use to do was after their late nite pissups, the next morning around 8am I would check the cars outside (parked on the side of the road - i.e. public) I would always spot someone with unpaid rego - then I called the council which happily came around and fined them.

They wouldnt listen to me when I asked them to turn their fken noise down - they had speakers outside on the deck pointed towards our property - so I told them what I would do - and I did.

Haven't had a problem since - except the obvious hating going around - but hell, the world is full of it!
