Fucks sake, man up and pay it. You fucked up, take it on the chin.
Operating a motor vehicle on roads means you have some responsbilities, and you ignored one of them and when you get nailed for it, you feel you are entitled to get off because you deem it to be ridiculous?
All the more reason to pull your head in and make sure your bike is road legal isn't it?Some people can afford to wipe their ass with $200. I am not one of them.
Good grief. What ever happened to personal responsibility?

Whatever happened to reading the thread al the way through before opening mouth ...

Hahaha... That was funny on so many levels.
Along for the ride...
"man up"? This is an infringement notice, not a cock measuring competition....
Like tax, I view infringement notices as something that I only have to pay if the law says I absolutely have to, and not a cent more. If what I did was unlawful, then I'll pay if I have to. But not if there is a sliver of doubt about it.
And dont fucking lecture me on personal responsibility - my bike is always insured, inspected and paid for - As a matter of pride and safety. Ever heard of the word "mistake".
Anyway, turns out the guvmint agrees with me - it was ridiculous.

Cos some fucking oddball will collect old licence labels get a bunch of holders, and display 100 regos on their windscreen. All of a sudden other people start colour photocopying old rego's and doing the same. You may think I'm joking here, but some people will be fuckwits, so it can help to make some types of fuckwittery illegal. It's the same kind of logic behind making it illegal (sort of) to pay a $200 fine in ten cent pieces.
No offense but the logic here is flawed. You had a 'failure to affix' fine because you failed to affix, and failing to affix is against the law. Whether the vehicle is actually licensed or not is at that point completely irrelevant as far as the law is concerned. They ticket you $200 either way so why would they bother with the time and expense of an MVR? No conspiracy theories here.
I would also guess that usually a vehicle without a current licence label is probably not currently licensed (). You're exceptional!
Anyway, I'm happy to hear that you got off your ticket and can spend the $200 on your brakes.

it used to be that the display of the label was the easiest way to ensure that the vehicle is actually licensed.With modern means that information is quickly available. to others as well.
Trainer wheels optional
it used to be that the receipt of the licence was affixed to the plate for proof, but some just have to play games.
Trainer wheels optional
and based on my experience no one plays the biggest games in law than those in the legal proffession themselves, eh arsehole.

Fuck me .. he wrote a letter and the infringement was dropped - no fine, no conviction ... how can that be legal "arseholes" at work ..
Why does this thread continue? Is the only thing you can read a rev counter???

That should be covered under a broad general rule like "obstruction of justice" or something similar along those lines. Not speculative petty laws just in case.

The trouble with relying on laws that are broad / general is that you run the risk of a couple things happening
A) The law is vague, so there is more lawyering to-and-fro in court, test cases for this that and other (all costing the court, and therefore taxpayers, money), rich people hiring expensive lawyers to get off things, or people wasting $1000's of taxpayers $ cos their duty solicitor knows that an argument will see it squashed. Typically with this scenario the law is hardly ever used anyway because of the ridiculous cost to prosecute (see 'vexatious litigant' legislation as an example - hasn't been used in 50 years http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6880...tious-litigant)
B) "Cop decides you're guilty, you're guilty" - I seem to remember that before certified noise levels for exhausts came in, the rule was, that if the cop decided it was too loud, you got ticketed, and had to get a new WOF. No if, buts, maybes, or arguments. You could drive out of the testing station and be ticketed again then and there and have no comeback.
I agree R-Soul, having petty laws is a sad scenario to be in, but it's a facet of the democratic world. Autocracy has its downsides though. It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. - Sir Winston Churchill
