Parking wardens - warrants and regos

[Mom]

Guy that warranted my bike last time suggested to put it under seat

I sat my license back in the day with no visible WOF or rego (both were under the seat). Cop said, where are the stickers? I lifted the seat, he said thats fine, lets go!

My current rego is in my jacket pocket, the last sticker was self adhesive, this new one isn't and I dont have a holder on my bike. I am just on my way to buy one officer

Well done you Uni guys, squiggles you did well!

go to a Postshop and ask for the double-sided adhesive that they have specifically for bike and trailer reg labels. Free of charge.
My reg label is stuck on the side of the swingarm, the WOF is in my wallet.

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. I meant the law would have to be changed to accommodate this idea, and part of that change would be to bring these into line.

Sorry, thanks for clarifying.

Officious little wankers. They're like those 'men in white coats' at shows and events that control the parking etc...give them a bit of authority and it's a recipe for instant mini Hitlers!

Must be payback for all the times they were picked last for sport in school

Also.........where do you put the ticket when parked in a metered park, never thought about it til the other day when I got my ticket and stood there looking like an idiot wondering where to put it(went in my pocket in the finish).
AAAAAAND what if there's 2 bikes in 1 car space ? do you need 2 tickets ?

I phoned the CHCH city council about a month ago - if I fill a 'car park' with bikes how many parking tickets are required. Fact is they did not know as they had not thought of this - but they suggested one for each bike.

Rego and WOF are meant to be clearly displayed - in fact you can get a ticket for not clearly displaying them if they are anal. This came up at work a while back with a registered vehicle displaying a old dated ticket, even though the vehicle was registered (rep had not picked up the new ticket).

They have been able to do that for several years. Lets councils get in on the revenue gathering too. Makes them way more money than just parking fines.

I must go and check if mine are visible! I don't think my warrant is. You would actually have to look

It was a good piece on Fair Go. Didn't make the bikers look like lawbreaking arses which was nice.

Let's face it.

Those donkeys are supposed to make a judgement call on whether the bike has a wof and rego. Think about it. If they're in that job to start with, what does that say about their ability to make correct judgements about themselves?

Anyone got a link if it's on the 'net yet?

I want to see my bike's moment of fame!

We've been fighting this battle for a while now, and a wee nudge from the media cant hurt, far from over though.

Cheers for the support

I was surprised to learn your warrant sticker should be on the windscreen if you have one, I just assumed putting it in a w.o.f. holder/case thing was o.k.

We asked about the ticket for metered parking and were told to just take ticket with us, and keep it as proof (along with the "fine" if you got one) that you did in fact pay for your spot! They admitted it's a bit hard for a bike when anyone could come along and flog ya little scrap of paper saying you have paid for the privilege of using the parking space!

Well done people, I wondered if any of you were KBr's! (couldn't see any patches etc.) Cheers, John.

Good job you lot, love the bit of drama mixed in "We hate them!".

I was told after asking that a motorcycle can park in a pay and display spot without paying for the maximum allotted time and a leeweay of ten minutes and no more. its bad enough we get charged ridiculously high rego and wof prices.

Isn't it strange how a praking warden will walk quite a long way each day, yet still remain a fat bastard?

Bloody good outcome guys!!!

You deseve a nice pat on the back Stephen.

Good job!

Yes.
My wife got a ticket for this, because although I had registered her car, I forgot to put the new sticker in the holder (it sat in my bike bag for a weeks instead). Basically, the council let her off after I wrote in with proof it was licenced, and explaining I was mental, but said it wasn't just a matter of it being licenced: it has to have a current registration (and WOF) AND they have to be clearly displayed. The ticket was actually for "failure to display a current registration licence sticker".
