Current licence label not affixed in prescribed manner

[Gremlin]

As said, wardens won't touch your bike to confirm it's current or not etc.

Law says, as close as practicable to the plate, a lot mount on the back of the plate (as do I). It looks like you have two Wof label holders (rego cut down) and I would suggest you get a rego holder for the rego label, then it will hang down beyond the plate and perhaps give them a clue. I would place the wof or rego in the holder so that the details are visible without moving the holder (ie, you have the details facing the plate so unless you rotate them you can't see them).

That said, I've had everything all nice and legal and still ticketed. They don't look properly. Last time I rang them up and gave them a bollocking as it was a company bike, fully legal, and they were wasting an hour plus of my time for 5min of their incompetence. They wanted me to write in, which I refused but agreed to send them an email with a picture attached. Boss also jumped on the phone and gave them an earful about wasting staff time. They replied, never apologising but said in that situation they'd cancelled the ticket.

Anyhoo, contact them, supply photo, mention law and tell them to cancel the ticket.

Why do rego stickers each have a barcode?

So you can scan your flybuys rewards points.

I have the said ugly metal plate with plastic slide face-plate, they're ugly looking for sure. The tubes look slick tho.

These guys are generally quite reasonable. You have a current wof and rego. Should be enough.

Not displaying it correctly is an issue. I bleeding obvious one at that. However with their centralised system, your plate number should be enough for confirmation you were fully road legal

$200 is a bit steep for such a minor issue

[avimistry]

No info in their system, then just chuck the fine away. You could always claim you never got it. But seriously, these AT "officers" really have no better things to do. If it was wof/rego related then they should at least look up your rego to make sure everything is in order, and issue you with a warning for not displaying correctly. This would give you the opportunity to fix the issue. Anyway, I suggest you take a picture of your rego/wof located on your bike and keep it for the records.

I'm thinking they do run the plate - otherwise the buggers would write two tickets - not displaying and not being currently registered. $400 thanks.

Hello,

After work, I walked toward my bike and found that I have received a parking fine. Strangely enough I assume it was a parking fine was parking over my time limit as I have previously gotten a fine for that. But for some odd reason it says that I receive a big $200 fine for reason: Current licence label not affixed in prescribed manner.

Thanks

TYPES OF INFRINGEMENTS
Current Licence Label not affixed in prescribed manner.

• Person operated a motor vehicle on a road when the current licence issued to the vehicle and appropriate for its use was not affixed to it in the manner prescribed.
• Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration & Licensing) Regulations 2011: Regulation 77(2)(b)(ii).
• $200 - Schedule 6 Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration & Licensing) Regulations 2011

Looking at Reg 77(2)(b)(ii) -

77. Operation of unregistered or unlicensed motor vehicle

(2) A person commits a stationary vehicle offence if the person operates a motor vehicle in contravention of section 242(1)of the Act by causing or permitting it to be on a road or driven on a road if the motor vehicle—
(b)does not have affixed to it and displayed in the manner prescribed by these regulations—(ii)

a current licence issued for it and appropriate for its use.

And the prescribed manner by these regulations is -

16. Display of licences

(1)The licence for a motor vehicle must be displayed as set out in this regulation.

(2)In the case of a motorcycle, moped, or trailer, the licence must be affixed to the motorcycle, moped, or trailer immediately below or as close as practicable to the registration plate.

(3)In the case of a motor vehicle that is not a motorcycle, moped, or trailer,—
(a) if the motor vehicle is fitted with a windscreen, the licence must be displayed on the inside of the windscreen, as close as practicable to the bottom right-hand corner of the windscreen (when viewed from the outside and front of the motor vehicle):

(b)if the motor vehicle is not fitted with a windscreen, the licence must be affixed to the back of the motor vehicle, as close as practicable to the registration plate.

(4) In every case, the licence must be displayed in an upright, easily visible position.

So there you go.

How to i get on the undesirable owner list to be left alone you have to clock a warden or something?

no. undesirables are pulled over more.

to get on the "nah fuck that" List you have to make their (attempted) enforcement unprofitable. the whole system is for the profit of teh jews. no profit= no interest.

[Gremlin]

no. undesirables are pulled over more.

But if they're pulled over more, doesn't that make them desirable, as in, they want them?

[BMWST?]

[Tazz]

Ask for a picture showing it not being displayed (they should have taken one) and then take it from there.

I lost a rego sticker in a plastic frame (only $5 to replace - no biggie.)

'twas bolted onto the number plate - facing forwards. Came out to the bike to find a small broken bit of plastic hung off the plate and no sticker - looks like it got hit with a stone.

Now I use double-sided tape to hold it directly on the number plate ... it's further inside, but it's still there ..

My rego is in a plastic/metal holder which is bolted to the engine, about the middle of the bike. Never had a problem with that, but again I don't live in Auckland.

Grovelling letters don't work here, even going in and talking to the Council drones is generally frustrating. Customer service? Never heard of it.

Several people I worked with were ticketed for expired WoF or rego and wrote to the council saying that they were legally parked and as such the Council employees were breaching the Prvacy Act by conducting any further examination of the vehicle. They all got off. I'm told that doesn't work in Auckland, but it did work here. Dunno why, it's the same bloody act. Maybe the Auckland Council is more desperate for cash?
