Demerit points hiked for unlicensed vehicles

[SMOKEU]

This is nothing short of extortion.

[Oblivion]

Yes they can. About 2 million of us can.

I thought that this was meant to be a fair candidacy?

Where's the "Vote for yourself" box?

Everybody time to put bikes on HOLD now, before May 1st when they make you surrender plate when putting bike on hold....

Then continue riding as usual, with cops paying no attention to you since you have a plate and therefore your bike cannot be hold

(or just report stolen plate, and put bike on hold anyway?)

Been riding for a year, haven't been pulled up by a cop once, except for the single breath test. I think I might be invisible

Been road riding nearly 20 years haven't been pulled up by a cop once, except the odd breath test.

So....where's the drawer of speeding tickets?

(picture of voting paper snipped)

But even if National was voted out, the incoming government (whoever they may be) would be most unlikely to repeal the ACC rise - usual excuses would be trotted out eg "Canterbury earthquake /South canty. finance/ global financial crisis / books are in much worse state than we imagined / etc " as reasons why the ACC tax (or any other tax/charge/fee/levy) could not be removed or even reduced.

Demerits used to be safety related.

Now it's demerits for revenue collection.

Now it's demerits for noise control.

Still no demerits for going through a red light.

Demerits are a joke. A bad joke.

what did you expect, voting for Party Hearty?

[Toaster]

OK so the math changes a bit
4 x tickets for riding on hold $600 plus 80 points, still cheaper than reg on 600cc+ bike .

But those points take two years from the date of incurrence to run off. No speeding for you then aye

[Toaster]

Yes, but stay unregistered for more than one year and end up in Baycorp.

It will be interesting to see how many end up having their licence suspended and eventually become disqualified via the courts.

Plenty suspended and disqualified drivers still out there. Recidivist drink drivers being a good example of the kind of dimwits that break the law regardless - often re-caught drunk and without a licence and already ordered off the roads - it just does not stop them.

The addition of demerits is unlikely to stop those that flout the law anyway.
