Infringement notice -Not displaying rego in prescribed manner (in wallet)

[scracha]

Write them a letter with a nice photograph explaining that the warden was perhaps mistaken. Your new vehicle licensing label was affixed to the bottom left hand side of your (perhaps dirty) motorcycle screen, but you had forgotten to remove the expired one from the rear of the vehicle.

Not if the exponents of the "Opt out scheme" get their way ... but the OP could have saved himself $200 ...

Wrong. Enforcement get details of everyone. Opted out, even confidential listings.

The opt-out is about shielding your personal details from the gang member or other dodgy bastard that likes your Harley or your girl friend, or simply wants a personal chat.

Sadly as long as the gang member has a mate with a finance, vehicles sales, towing, repossession or similar business he still has full access to your personal details even if you have opted out.

IMHO he should not have mine. I don't care if he has yours.

It's a fucking stupid law. Nowdays they could check whether the vehicle in question is currently registered in less than a minute, so why retain a rule that's effectively obsolete?

Other than the obvious benefit to the public purse.

Far, far too many fucking rules, time to clear some of them out.

Go and get another reg sticker...make sure you get confirmation of getting it dated. Write them a letter showing them the original reciept dated the month ago...saying some low life cunt must've knicked your original label...and you hadn't noticed. You may get lucky.

Of all the sensible posts in this thread, these two take the prize for 1st place Most Sensible.

Shit yeah - now that will most likely work. Good call.

I would have thought prevention being better than a cure ...

My license label can be changed in it's holder (with no tools) in less than 2 minutes. Replacement labels can be replaced FREE from any post shop. The dire need to stop some bad person "nicking it" borders on comical ...

Fined $200 for not spending that 2 minutes also borders on comical ...

After being stopped roadside by Police ... even if the rego is up to date ... if the attitude test is failed ... "failing to display" will be issued. (and added to the list)

The OP has not commented whether it was council issued or not.
Going back were councils not allowed to fine for no rego/wof unless they had broken another rule (parking or somewhat), or is that gone by the way now?

Anyway, another reason to move to OZ, well NSW anyway, rego stickers are goneburgers for light vehicles.

Usually in the bylaws on/under "Conditions of parking in public places" ... Vehicles must display ... etc.

I think they lost the ability to issue expired regos for a bit, but the nazis must have clawed it back for 'income'.

[fastoyz]

what about putting another holder down by chain guide somewhere away from your current one with your current tag, take a pic show that you forgot to remove old one but new one was clearly visable, could be worth a try? or just do what this guy did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SO-RPx9IRc

Why is it that they get to institute such a law? It's has no effect on the local authorities whether vehicles parked in their juristriction are registered or not. Their interaction with their ratepayers should be limited to issues relevant to that relationship, if I was required to penalise my clients for actions completely irrelevant to our business I'd be telling the requirer where to get off, in detail. In short they need to mind their own fucking business.

It is a bylaw ... But it IS in law. But ... as such ... any bylaws must not be against the principals/policies of normal Governmental law. Which it is not.
Most cities employing parking attendants ... will have instigated such policy in their bylaws. Wellington will be no different.

And the collected funds go into the respective council coffers ... in Auckland I believe the income from parking fines are in the millions per month ...

A tidy little earner ...

[rastuscat]

Running a red or orange light is 20 demerits from memory.

Sorry. nope. Nil demerits for red or yellow light offences.

Demerits for not licensing your ride though. Sheesh.

Yes, I'm aware of both the reason they assume "responsibility" for the issue and the fact that they can legally do so. What I suggested was that they have no ethical mandate to do so and that I personally see no reason to encourage them by contributing to their Xmas party fund. In fact I tend to actively avoid contributing to any "service" not immediately of any obvious value to me.

The acceptance of such monopolistic and opportunist bullshit by a comfortable majority of the public is pathetic, at least have the balls to admit that many government entities are ripping you off across a wide range of pissance charges without due cause even if you can't quite be fukt doing anything about it.
