Honestly I didnt get smart with him at all. Just did as he said. Asked why he was fining me. and that was it. even thanked him for the ticket (felt like kicking myself for it). but no I was neither rude nor arrogant. (its not in my nature).

That's right Kiwi drivers are the bees knees eh what.............always good to divert attention.

If he did not mention the licence the first time then this implyed to Raj that he was licenced, as he thought, so I reckon he could argue this in Court re the second stop.

Plate well it is readable..........Kiwifruits Dad was a lot worse and he won.

Speed, well cop v Raj so will have to take the rap on that but would be interesting, as I said earlier about applying points. May be able to avoid on first stop.....I did in my first year.

Yeah those Indians are dodgy right..............

Speed I think you will have a hard time arguing.

Those other things are worth a shot.

At least you didn't get zinged all in one night for speeding and illegal bike mods. Yeap.. that $400 fine I got sucked balls.

Didn't they use to have that rule to waive the $400 bucks if you sat your NZ licence within 28 days? You had to send proof that you passed your theory test etc to Police department. COuple of my friends had that. But really sucks Raj. That plate infringement is rediculous....looks normal to me

Naw I went in to the Takapuna Police station and asked officers there if they'd ticket my no plate... met 2 officers at the BP at Tristam ave when I was filling up and asked them also.. all said it was legit.

The rego plate and licence breach are BS, if the bureau doesn't flag them away you should take them to court.

A couple of years ago a German guy of my aquaintance was stopped driving on an expired International Licence. He had to pay. He also had to get a New Zealand licence which presented him with problems because he lives out of town...

I took him out the application forms and a road code, how he managed the rest I have no idea.

Mate, don't feel priveleged they picked on you about the plate - before I was doing this job I had a run-in with one of Lous ex-workmates (ex MOT Traffic Officer) who told me that bending up the bottom of the big-arse square number plate to fit my Sportsters Yankee number plate bracket was a no-no and if I didn't do something about it he would ticket me for it. (Kinda took the edge of THAT Christmas day I tells ya!)

Having said that you should be able to get off it (Where is the 'real' plate anyway?) as well as the NZ licence thing.

As far as the speeding ticket goes: "Son, you're on your own" (From the movie Blazing Saddles).

stick it to the man bro, a good lawyer will cost more than the fines but when they give us a hard time i say stick to the man (legally of course),
take the speed fine and demerits on the chin but as for the rest stick it to da man.
