That's andrews, i dunno how he did it, they even gave him a year long wof for a nearly 20yo bikeand Stevo how the hell did manage to score a ticket on 2 Oct. 2008? Dynamic duels....

hehe, i got that sticker in october after those tickets and it doesn't expire till december - that's a 14 month wof sticker for a 6month wof that only had 1 month left on it
that letter is pretty much the same as mine. they say they're letting you off but won't admit they're wrong.

Anyway good on Stevo in fighting for your rights. Bling bling awarded.....hehe, i got that sticker in october after those tickets and it doesn't expire till december - that's a 14 month wof sticker for a 6month wof that only had 1 month left on it

Don't just live to ride but ride to live.

It's entirely discretionary mate - up to the particular cop on the particular day - take anything anyone tells you with a grain of salt - apply the precautionary principle.
To cover your arse: 'Keep your head down' - don't go scaring cagers with speed or unpredictable unindicated moves.
Think about what you'd like if you were a non-riding cager. And please watch teh f*ck out for people changing lanes or letting cars in at junctions - expect it and cover your brakes, as if the shit hits the fan, legal fault will likely lie with both parties, and it's a shitstorm anyone could do without.
*Go relatively slowly = more time to react.
*Use your right-hand indicator to show you are passing on the right (and to warn cars with its blinkyness),
*Merge back in when cars get up to a reasonable speed ~40-50 km/hr.
*Check your mirrors often.
*If anyone looks likely to change lanes on top of you, use the horn.
During the day I use high beam so driver's wing-mirrors alert to my presence more forcefully. As it's getting darker in the mornings/evenings/dull days, I'm back in the Hi-Vis again.
If in doubt for any reason at all, merge in. I you have a 'bad feeling' or if there's a "maybe too small gap" - merge in. Discretion beats bravado here any day.
Should you see our brightly coloured friends common sense says to merge back in until well clear as lane splitting is a legal grey area.
If you pass the police and don't merge in and you're behaving - you should be OK - but there's no way of telling what mood an officer is in (or if they're ginger!) so you're risking a $150 ticket.
Sorry if I'm telling you to suck eggs, but the safe splitting/not alienating cagers message needs repeating from time-to-time.

On another note - the parking services letter is very much like mine -
The bold paragraph is correct - the offence is failing to display rather than not having a WOF or rego.
At least they didn'y send yours to court!! (I think i'm on their "target and cause maximum vexation by any means" list!)
ROFL re the 'can't touch it' (parking warden MC Hammer anyone??)
How then do car tyres get chalked and windscreen wipers get lifted to apply tickets?
Self-justifying BS - clearly, they only apply the de minimis principle when it suits (ie the law is not concerned with trifling or technical breaches - like chalking tyres, or checking a WOF by sliding it out from behind a plate)
See y'all at Strata.

Sadly im going to revive this thread, they're at it again, officer out there last week doing the same old... to be fair, he was feeling under the plates to see if he felt something sticking out, which he would (as there seems to be some odd shaped mount back there on all bikes), but didnt look... he then appeared to notice that some people put them in the windscreen, and proceeded to walk back down the street to check if there was one in that position on the last bike he ticketed.
As far as i know the "chuck it on the bike" form of ticketing has not changed, although i didnt have time to look on all the bikes for one. And yet again, one of our members has $400 worth of fines...
Attached is the letter i sent to the council (the response is on the last page), im posting it so i dont loose it.
Edit: Should i attempt to split this thread?
Forum whore
sent that yet? you might wish to add how annoying it is that there is no notice sent when an appeal is recieved by the council. it took over 2 months for them to reply to my appeals, and in that time they sent me several warning notices threatening to take me to court.
burn them!

yer, i sent it, response is on the last page

couldn't see response in the .doc, so forgot about it (no good saying response is on last page of another unspecified thread lol)
yeah splitting thread would be a good idea
Forum whore
wait, what? how?
(obviously i'm not parking on symonds till i've got a new wof sticker)
Hardcore Biker
arent you **UGU? According to the letter i recieved, your ticket was issued on october 2008 lol
Beware the psychosis llama...
Can I burn them with you?
Screw a career in the law - burning certain parking wardens would be much more satisfying!
