That $200 was for my new front brakes. Now I will have to make do with metal-to-metal contact for a while... I guess the law is having its intended consequences then?

I get why your mad but why the fuck would you do that and risk causing damage to your brakes with the scraping and / or yourself or someone you hit when you can't stop?

North Shore, you are around the corner from TINA RAY. She will have plenty of advice for you, but probably will jibe you for having paid rego at all.

Hampton Downs anyone?

Simply write to the council. Tell them the vehicle was correctly licenced and you will defend the case.

Its costs you nothing.

Right up until the hearing starts you can simply pay the fine if you change your mind.

The council will be aware of the defence mentioned by conquistador, and of mens rea.

Its all about money, and 9 times out of 10 they will bail out, as they have to spend a lot of money, they lose a meter maid for half a day and they only have a 50/50 chance of winning.

Take a $0.50c risk. Write the letter, polite, but firm.

Double sided tape that is available free at any post shop. The ten minutes to fit it (that you didn't take) cost you $200. A replacement license label to fit it properly is also free at any post shop.

Your own decision to not fit it cost you the money.

And it more about current Council legislation .. than law. To them it's just about income.

Of course, taking it to court will almost double his cost if he loses...

I have a drz400. It rips number plates up with pure vibration. I caught a parking warden looking for my rego and he asked where it was. I looked and it was gone. He was nice enough to radio to his office and have them check I was up to date then he said it was fine.

I went through a check point missing a wof for the same reason, I had the new sticker in my wallet fresh from the mechanic. When he looked at the plate he just said 'I believe you, drive on'. Gonna need a whole new plate soon.

Just making the point that petty beaurocracy is actually getting in the way of road safety...

If you ride the bike with the brakes fucked (knowing they're fucked) ... And hit somebody. It wont be seen as the "Fault of Bureaucracy" ...

Glue the plate to a piece of perspex, then bake in the oven. Then mount... much stronger.

And you can add chocholate chippies to give it that "home baked" feel.

i just tell them that i keep them on me so if my bike is even nicked and gets stopped they wont just be let to ride off. mind you my bike looks like a million bucks so parking guys never look twice at it. oh and i never park it anywhere that i have to worry about that.

That will only work until a cop stops you on the side of the road .. and sees that the labels are not displayed ... then it's $200 please sir !!!

Lie? You recommend people lie to the popo??? (Just checking that is what you are suggesting?)
