" Life is not a rehearsal, it's as happy or miserable as you want to make it"
Couldn't do it,,,don't respond to words like POPO.,
1999 one speeding Ticket,,65 in a 50 zone.
2008 failing to display correct Dangerous goods signage,,,forgot to remove rear placard after unloading an got pulled into a wheigh bridge the following day,,,,CVIU cops "really don't" do that discretion shit,,,which is quite ok by me,,,fuck it..
Obtained my licence in 1972 and have now done just over 1,100,000km on NZ roads.
1974 Speeding x 2
1975 Speeding x 1
1978 Speeding x 1
1987 Speeding x 1
1991 Speeding x 1
1999 Speeding x 1
2009 Speeding x 1
All tickets except the 1999 one were for less than 18km over the posted limit, 1999 was for over by 21km.
Was regularly pulled over between 1988 and 2007 because my personalised plate was always misread by the Police - and so had my licence checked, WOF and Registration inspected at least twice a year and I would give them a polite lesson on how to read a zero or an 0 on a personalised motorcycle plate. Always good for a smile!
none. ever.![]()
Only two tickets in 17 years of driving.
111km/h in a 100 zone
115 km/h in a 100 zone as the passing lanes were indicated to merged and the guy next to me in the left lane decided to speed up. Yeah yeah, I could have, should have slowed down instead of speeding up... blah blah

Lane splitting.
No L plate.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Got a ticket for;
No WOF back in 1979 - in a car, wrote a letter in - got off
Parking on a broken yellow lines - was pulled over lights and siren in the main street of Warkworth back in 1981 as a result
Parking over limit in a Warkworth cul-de-sac, was the only car on the road, overstayed my hour limit
Parking on broken yellow lines that were so faint you could not really see them, AND they got painted white a week later
Speeding, 135 kph, 35 demerits and a fine - 2001 well deserved!
Speeding, 113kph, 20 demertits and a fine - 2004 end of a passing lane
Blameless record![]()
You've got failed to give way and failing to stop at a stop sign lumped together, but there is a big difference between the two. Failing to give way will invariably lead to a crash, or evasive action needing to be taken. Failing to stop at a stop sign doesn't, particularly as many stop signs don't actually meet the visibility requirements needed to put them in. A bit like speeding in a way. Comply or else. Even if a stop sign does meet the requirements, if you are in a truck or bus or on a motorbike you can sometimes see past the obstruction causing the restricted visibility, so should you be bound by the stop sign?
And after that rant, you'll have guessed that my only ticket is for failing to stop at a stop sign. One that was put up and enforced to appease residents. I didn't complain at the time though, in fact when the cop told me what I'd done I nearly kissed him. I thought he'd got me for something I did approaching the stop sign which would have resulted in quite a lengthy period having to catch the bus with the poor people.
Dangerous Driving x1 (Arrested, 2 hours of hard time hehe)
Speeding Tickets x 8-9 ish, plenty of warnings (thanks radar detector), lost license couple times due to demerits
No WOF/REG x 2
Failure to stop short (car was a lot shorter though)
Exceeding 90kph with a trailer (on my way to a track day, as quite a few people noticed)
Got caught on a Dealer Plate for a fresh import, got off the ticket, but it turns out you still need the WOF / VIN done before the D plate can be used.
