Ticketing of Bikes - Footpath and Wof/Rego tickets

[motorbyclist]

Anyone keen to have anything mentioned?

just be sure to mention officers not even looking for WOF stickers, and that bike parking in out of the way places isn't an issue, whereas bike parking in car spaces is.

and how long it takes them to respond to your letters. i sent my letters at the start of november(?) the response was dated 11th january

[Hanne]

I still haven't received a reply from MY letter! And that was sent the same time as your one. Same with Stephen's one that was about the parking and tickets issues....

[motorbyclist]

i thought this sums things up pretty nicely

As in my last post -

David Do has indeed 'fingered' the parking issue in this week's Critic. Parking in general around university is a poor joke, and bike parking has become difficult (too full) and unsafe (trying to reverse into a Symonds Street park).

I'd better get my arse into gear with some sort of research.

Anyone please PM me with your most egregious parking abuses in central Auckland. Ammo is good.

Linky? Or can you or someone scan it and post it up?

[Phurrball]

no linky yet on craccum.co.nz So will go for a scan or transcription when I have a moment...

i just received an email which either means we can't park on symonds street on the 25th while they remove the car parks to build a bus lane, or that they are removing the majority of symonds street motorcycle parking

as it stands we are about to lose all parking on the engineering side up by the architecture school


SEE THE THREAD

When's the next council transport subcommittee meeting that was much vaunted when we last attended?

The deputy chairt of that committee seemed interested - maybe we should contact her? Toni someone I recall - probably back in this thread somewhere...

University admin would have a vested interest in keeping pedestrian space bike-free - the idiocy of this should be pointed out to them - with pictures showing that the parks are already over capacity!

I guess I have been lucky. I didn't display my WOF for 8 months without a problem.

[Squiggles]

I got a reply today, although its only a slightly more personalised version of the one hanne got (it asks i remind members of the rules and is signed by the person themself)


Will post it up later, but the gist of it is "The rules are this and this and that" (all of which were followed) and "...please remind all members to follow the rules..." (and we'll ticket them anyway )

Writing my reply will be fun (she didnt address any of the other points i raised)

What are the regulations of displaying the WOF on a bike? Mine has always been behind the plate.

I've attached the response i recieved from the council, perhaps i should resend my letter with the same pictures (they showed that the bike met all of their regulations to the letter) Nevermind answering any of the other questions asked eh?

Haha I know where you live Stevo!!!!!!! Hanna 4 infringement tickets in 4 days.... not a bad record .....and Stevo how the hell did manage to score a ticket on 2 Oct. 2008? Dynamic duels....

I love how they can change the spelling of your surname within the same letter.

[Timati]

Guess I'll have to place it somewhere "they" can see. Maybe you ought to have a chat with someone else. It always seems that there is always something contradictory. One person says fine and the other it's not fine...
