Current licence label not affixed in prescribed manner

[FishieKateikyo]

Hello,

After work, I walked toward my bike and found that I have received a parking fine. Strangely enough I assume it was a parking fine was parking over my time limit as I have previously gotten a fine for that. But for some odd reason it says that I receive a big $200 fine for reason: Current licence label not affixed in prescribed manner. So I decided to call AT and ask them why did I receive this fine?. As the fine was issued on that day, it hasn't shown up on the system. but he explained the reason why I got the fine was most likely due to not have a current Registration. But that is a bit odd as I have a current Rego and WOF bolted on the back on my bike. I have read through this forum and most of the user didn't have their current Rego displayed. However I do have my current WOF and Rego and I am loss for word on why did I have a $200 fine for not having a current rego?

And the annoying bit is that when I search for the information online, e.g. giving my number plate and notice #, it doesn't show any information about the fine.....

How would I proceed with getting off this silly fine or maybe someone could explain how would my rego be displayed?

I park on victoria street west auckland on a legal parking spot.

Disclaimer: I am still a new rider so knowing the reason why I got the fine to avoid it the next time would be helpful.

Thanks

The parking nazi is too fat to bend over and actually look at the displayed label.

a: Take a photo of it and send into cuntbrains at Auckland Council.
Attach an invoice for your time and costs associated with said fuckwit cuntbrains fatcunt parkingnazi's incompetence.


b: Stab parking cunts.
c: pour bleach on the bastards afterwards.

...I display mine at the bottom forward section of my frame...I make them get down and look, and when they tell me it should be displayed more prominently I tell them to grow up or stop being fuckwits...works every time...shove the ticket up their arse...

How would I need to display the Rego on my bike though? Maybe it's displayed wrongly however I can't find any information on how it is meant to be displayed. Yeah, I am planning to go with the notice to dispute it. I just don't want to keep getting the fines as I ride to work in town for 8 hours 5 times a week and I am working tomorrow

Take a photo of how it is displayed so we can see.

What style of number plate do you have? A square one or an oblong one?

IIRC - the label should be displayed as near to the number plate as is possible...

If square then put the licence label on it - NZTA will supply double sided tape for it next time you relicence the bike.
If an oblong one - is the label in one of those plastic holders? Is it [like mine] partial hidden behind the number plate? If that, them swing it out so it can be more easily seen. If that doesn't suit, can you put the plastic holder on the rear swing arm or somewhere similar.

Hope that helps.

I have a swing arm that was on my bike that came with it. So it can be swing out and in....

I'm pretty sure that they're not allowed to touch your bike so wouldn't be able to swing them out. Also the rego looks like it's been folded to fit into a WOF holder, so it's not clearly displayed. Go into a VTNZ testing station and ask for a government metal rego holder. These are free and have a T shaped bracket that easily fixes to your number plate.

So I can't dispute the claim because the rego is hidden away under the plate? i didnt know this... I bought the bike and I saw that the rego was like the way that is folded in the photo so I assumed it was the right way. I did ask a vendor if ithe was fine and they said yeah.. well a lesson learned

That is the longest commute I have ever heard of.

Couple of issues with your pictures. A warden is not going to spend any time whatsoever searching for them and they are certainly not going to swing things in and out. Looks like they aren't visible to me. And as above, it is also folded so you cannot see what year it ends or the bar code which might matter for Big Brother.
Go to a motorbike shop and see how they display them.

It is a bullshit charge because the warden could just check your plate and see if you were legal or not if the council wasn't trying to rob people of their $200.

Interesting. The swing out things no good. It appears accepted they will look behind a plate but not a lot more. And fair enough as it is meant to be clearly displayed.

Easy fix for you is get the rego and the double sided tape they provide and stick it to the guard just below the number plate. No one will bitch about that.

As far as the fine goes - first bike? write a most sucky up letter stating it is as purchased and as it was WOFed you believed it was totally legal. Really sucky. You may find a nice person who will let you off.

When You have displayed it correctly so it can be seen , on the bottom of the infringement notice their is a online email address , write a nice note quoting the rego no , infringement no and expiry date on the label. Tell them You are now displaying it correctly . Don't forget Your contact email address. You should get a positive reply.

The charge is not affixed in the prescribed manner ... not the bike is unregistered. As I understand ... parking wardens have no ability (or inclination even if they had) to check if vehicles have current registration.

Write letter saying your new to motorcycles and it was how the bike was purchased so assumed it was acceptable and let them know you have sorted the location of both registration and wof now.
