Yup, me too. Start by lying through your teeth, it's worked for me many times. "It was mounted here all along" etc etc. Then shoot the prick.

Be good if it were up to you, but will wait a week for them tp post out a replying statement, as thats how it works apparently. Oh, and thee are the infringements for the wof and reg, I quote: "Did use Unlicensed Motor Vehicle" and "No evidence of Inspection - Private Vehicle Warrant of Fitness". For the wof I am going to argue that there is evidence, the officer just did not see it at the time of ticket.

send a picture of your bike with reg and wof....(and proof you had wof and reg..)
Then ask how council failed to see it?
They got proof it wasn't on display?

The law wants us to have wof and reg as you mentioned.
That is fair enough.
However for the council to fine you $460, for simply not displaying the stickers is downright wrong.
As mentioned in some posts, the police should deal with these issues, and they are more reasonable.
How come councils have these policing rights?...,and how can they be revoked?

Good on you for not just bending over.... make them work and suffer.
Hope you get away with it.

no apology for wasting my time though, but they did take off the wof and reg fines I quote - "... As your vehicle is clearly licensed and has a current warrant of fitness, I have accepted you explanation and waived notices..."

The parking officer apparently drew a diagram explaining the broken yellow line fine, but it wasn't in the letter they sent telling me I had no evidence to have the fine waived, so I rang the Inspections and Enforcement Unit and requested they send me a copy.

well Hamish Carlson time for a well earned brew!
Good onya, and good on the council for listening to common sense.

So presumably you told them that they just missed seeing it, because otherwise you don't have a leg to stand on.

take what you have and run....pay the parking one and bite the bullet...

you are on a winner at the moment with the reg and wof ones... ccc parking don't usually go against there officers for parking unless you have photo evidence and 20 eye witnesses who all had cameras and took photos as well...

at the moment it's your word against theirs...

[Hamish Carlson]

Nope - I told them it wasn't on the bike, but the wof had fallen off a few weeks ago (which is true). And since I bought the reg off the net, it didn't come with anything to attach it to the bike. If its their word against mine, are we still not on even grounds? I'll see what the diagram the officer drew looks like first.
