Received a $570 fine. But I feel there are some double standards.

[scumdog]

Today I received the notice for:

$170 exceeding speed limit by 20kph
$400 not displaying "L" plates (the cop never said anything about this when I was stopped)

Ah, a lesson to be learned from this, - if you are at risk of getting multiple tickets you don't do anything to draw attention to yourself.

So simple yet so easily overlooked by young ones.

(And not so young ones who, shall we say, have a dearth of functional brain??).

luckly he wasnt on a bike with no rego and wof after 10pm.

speeding 170
No L plates 400
over 70km 400
after 10pm 400
no wof 200
no rego 200

total fines 1770. Have a nice day.

And don't forget the "Driving in a manner likely to cause annoyance to any person or damage to any road surface"
$600,
ka-ching!!.

Keep ya mouth shut and pay the fine - fighting it will only get you in more shit

You could add dangerous riding to the charge after all exceeding the speedlimit is very dangerous, add $700 to $1000 go directly to jail, do not pas go do not collect $200.

And don't forget the "Driving in a manner likely to cause annoyance to any person ........$600,
ka-ching!!.

Huh? Is this really a charge? And if so please issue it to all the drivers on the auckland motorway as they annoy the shitvers out of me.....

I find it strange he didn't try and ping me for no rego and warrent, I have them both but they are stored in my lunchbox.

Glad he didn't assume I was missing those too.

His QVR would have shown both of those were O.K.

Seeing a lot of mention of this $170 for exceeding 100kph.

I had the luxury of being a passenger in a car when the boss was driving and overtook a mufti cop car in the 'Naki a few weeks ago.

the ticket had a sliding scale of demerits 1-10 kph over = 10 points, 11-20 kph = 15 points... etc.

He got caught at 128kph and got stung for $230 - so I'm guessing 126kph should carry the same penalty or do different regional police set their own fine levels?

[caesius]

Yea sorry I forgot to mention the cop said he'd write it out as 125 since it was only 1kph off and carried a lesser penalty.

Lucky-lucky-lucky!!

Now keep schtum and don't tell the rest of KB how much of a good break you had - or they will all want the same treatment.

If memory serves me right, driving contrary to conditions of a limited licence is the same was driving while disqualified?

Both have a "conviction" but they are traffic matters, lodged on a criminal record, but treated as traffic matters only.

Driving outside Licence conditions is an infringement offence, dealt with at the roadside or by posting a ticket. Driving while disqualified is an arrestable offence that requires a Judge to determine penalty. Only cases heard in court carry convictions, Infringement offences are recorded against Licence details but are not convictions. Insurers consider both Convictions and Infringements when deciding on Policies & Claims, as I think Judges do when considering sentencing.

Re: Licence conditions... He was talking about a limited work licence, the ones you get once you are disqualified but those allow you to get to work and back home again, only.

Err, yes. Funny how the eyes play tricks with you sometimes.

I agree with you on this point. Driving outside the conditions of a Limited Licence is viewed the same as Driving While Disqualified. Been there, done that.

i know how u feel buddy i got done last week for 91 in a 60 so $300 fine for speeding and $400 fine for failing to display L plate

btw speed related demerit points go like this (according to the bar on my ticket )
<10kph over = 10dp
11-20kph over = 20dp
21-30kph over = 35dp
31-35kph over = 40dp
35+ = 50dp
