its only illigal is the cop picks up on it, or ur wof guy. I think its only a $200 ticket, IF you get one. I wouldn't worry about it personally.
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
It's not a WoF item though...
That, in itself, means nothing. They'll sell anything to anyone.
What you need to do is look at the Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting 2004 (and amendments) to determine if they meet the relevant current requirements. Or just don't worry about it because they probably won't pick it up at WoF time anyway... just go to either a bike shop or VTNZ!![]()
If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!
WOF man isn't the problem.
A friend has a similarly modified plate (except it looks like cousin Rangi did it, and it's cracked in half to boot!), and has never had any WOF trouble. What flabergasts me is that he has never been given any heat from the feds about it either!
Cheap to replace though; just tell them you've lost it, then you'll have one you can swap back and forth.
I thought, and I try not to think too often....... that as long as the plate is readable, ledgable and has a number plate light that its pretty much ok.
I Popo can give you a ticket for just about anything including looking sideways, smiling or whatever they can conceive.
The key is that because you ride a bike, automatically you are a target of curiosity so the less you give them as options the better.
I had a non govt issue plate for years on my bike as it was originally one of those hideous square ones..... Now I have a smaller Personalised plate which is ok. However, in saying that, it's made so poorly, like everything these days that... it's cracking and breaking at the fixing points. When it breaks, I will replace it like the last one, with an improved polycarbonate one from my sign writer. He does heaps of them apparently.
Recently I saw a car in Warkworth with a persnalised plate front and back, made of hard board, held on with cable ties, with lettering in Black Vivid.................
It matched the car, a beat up green wagon lol.
I am freindly really, I only bite when provoked
Technically, drilling holes in the plate to mount it, is illegal. Naturally, this is slightly overlooked
I doubt you would get pulled over specifically for the plate, but as I had once (with a bike and plate done by a previous owner) for something else, the plate was chucked on top. $200 (unless its changed since 2007 ish).
Had one plate last about a year on the current bike. Since had a new plate, but then a mate has glued the plate to perspex, and then we mounted it. Much stronger, still the legal plate, solved the problem hopefully.

Well... yip.Probably not even much of a wanker. The rules are the rules, and even as I said to the cop, I have passed so many cops, and not a single one has said a thing (mine was very obvious, previous owner had chopped the plate right down to just around the letters). He just said he wasn't questioning other officers, and thats the rules.

Ummm... as of 1st December 2009... Unauthorised plate, $200 fine AND 25 demerits.... but she has gone and got it all fixed now. She is sorted.
plus the demerits....
See above - unauthorised = $200 and 25 demerits. In both cases.....
