Current licence label not affixed in prescribed manner

[FLUB]

When I bought my Goldwing the WOF was stuck to the windscreen like on a car. This is not near to the number plate as per the law. I had a brand new Spyder where the WOF and rego were stuck to the frame under the seat, so even dealers get it wrong. Pretty sure they wouldn't pay a fine if I received one.

Mine is affixed with the double sided tape to the swingarm. Not had any problems with that, but I'm not in Auckland. And how come cars can have the rego mounted metres away from the plate and thats ok, but bikes are expected to have it alongside the plate?

The rule for cars is more prescriptive - bottom left corner of windscreen. Which is not a practical rule for motorcycles, hence the difference.

Having the dog-tags behind your plate is still sufficient, however the expiry date of registration should be visible from behind the plate ie: facing outward. The last two digits don't appear on your tag, this may be a problem.

One could argue that the L plate is a legal requirement and without it, there would be nothing obstructing the visibility of the rego. If the last two digits on your rego weren't missing, your photo showing the dog-tags plus your L plate would show compliance.

Parking wardens are not the type to go out of their way to check.
having spent time watching them, you will see they give everything a 3 sec check, mark tyre, carry on.

write your letter, they generally are reasonable.

i don't know what Flub is talking about re metal holder but might be worth while.

thats a big case you have there, keep an eye on the mounting when you check the bike over.

Enjoy your steed

I had one on most of my bikes, the one on my Honda was attached to the chain guard, a metal holder with a clear perspex slide, my current bike has one.

It's comical how some people get weird about displaying these things because it detracts from the look of the bike.

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.

+ 1 on grovelly letter, its all part of the game.

The Metal rego holders are better than the plastic ones, they tend to snap off.

I wonder do Traffic Wardens have a " Rocky " moment when they find an easy 2 hundy

Bastard - stop laughing at me! Bloody ugly rego mounts. Spend a fortune on a good looking ride and tack on a piece of alloy


I've seen those round tube like ones - popular in England - I'm unsure how a parking warden would react to them in NZ. Look OK on the FastBikeGear website - image below stolen from there. Shows the data required.

Why do rego stickers each have a barcode?

I'm pretty sure that they're not allowed to touch your bike............

the exception being when they slap the ticket on it

At Eighty Buck or 40 bags O Chip, fuck that. Write that letter young fella and sort out your shit,so this doens't happen again, parking warden is really just being a prick, but they get paid to be!

[Berries]

As said elsewhere, new bike, new rider, how were you to know? You should get off with a letter.

As I understand ... parking wardens have no ability (or inclination even if they had) to check if vehicles have current registration.

They do in Dunedin. If the displayed rego is out of date they can check to see whether it is actually expired before giving a ticket. I checked once when my online renewal hadn't arrived before the expiry date.

It is so they can track you via the monitors they have been installing over the last 18 months.

So you can't get away with "oh, it must have blown away..."?

My wof and rego are fitted back to back on each other, sticking up from the bolt behind my plate. Never had any problems except for the one time the whole thing vibrated off going through the forgotten world highway and I hadn't noticed they'd parted company from my bike until some time later...

thanks Maha for explaining the metal license holder type, I didn't know where to get them.
