Vertical Custom Number Plate - Police Infringement

[RDJ]

Coupla years ago - Mine was vertical, legible, large font, reflective, accurate, and had passed 3x WOFs; then got ticketed by the Local Blue Gang and was told 'take it off the road and get compliant or we will ticket you every time we see you'.

So, yeah. I did that. Had a custom bracket made to put it horizontal on the rear fender, plus lights etc. Extra $280.

Because you cannot beat NZ's Biggest Taxpayer-Funded Gang.

And ... after passing the "attitude test" ...

Yes indeed. Because attitude trumps the law of the land. Yessiree.

Passing the attitude test has saved me more money ... than I've ever won on Lotto ...

+1 - must spread more reputation...

BTW, what's so wrong with mounting the plate where the manufacturer intended?



... if you don't want a rectangular plate you could have a square one.

Why not have it at the side ... with a harley at maximum lean angle ... it will still be well clear of the ground ...

I do not disagree with you, you are right. In the sense that passing the attitude test saves money.

But of course, to pass the attitude test, we need to assume the role of serf. "By your leave Milord Cop, may I now go about my duties?" +, forelock tugging.

IMO it's all on a par with "don't say or do anything that might upset the adherents of the Religion of Peace (TM) or we will fine you and/or put you in jail."

Perhaps some think these are not points on a continuum. In my opinion, they are wrong.

As a famous philosopher once said, "to know who rules over you, just recognise who you are not allowed to criticise".

On my US-built bike it was mounted exactly where the manufacturer intended. Made no diff to the Aoteoroa LEOs.

They are well out of the wind behind the mudguard too so why do they stick them out on the side of a Harley. Everyone to their own but bobbers and the like just don't do it for me nor do bikes with no back to them at all with the rear wheel stuck way out back and your Missus likely to fall onto the bloody tyre because the seat is so short and there is nothing behind it e.g MV Dragster.

Legislation is prepared by parliament, not the police. Got a problem with the law? You're barking up the wrong tree to get mad at cops.

number plates are for pussies

I neither admit (or deny) anything. I (try to) keep a straight face. Smile ... and they think you're laughing at them.

My only comment is usually ... that .. "I know the rules .. you got me". I'm just not specific on the rules I'm referring to ...

A WOF is only any good till you cross the threshold of where it was issued
