Your are very correct.... however, they will just pass it on to the Ministry of inJustice who actually DO have the time and resources to waste as much time in collecting it. It just becomes a pain in the bum for you just cause you didnt want to pay $80......

[crazybigal]

tell you what
why dont you goto court and when you get wacked by the judge with court costs, all the people on here who said fight it can help you pay it

[CookMySock]

...just cause you didnt want to pay $80......

I agree. For some of us it is just a game to play though, and we like that sort of crap.

Others don't - celebrate that we can choose !

"MY LEGAL ADVICE IS THAT THIS INFRINGEMENT NOTICE WILL NOT STAND IN A COURT OF LAW".

It will stand up in court and when the Infringement Bureau receives your letter they will just put you in the moron basket, wait till you don't turn up for your court hearing and have you convicted in your absence.

The Infringement Bureau has interesting and productive things to do? Why haven't I been told this before?

[CookMySock]

The thing to rely on is, the pigs don't like egg on their face in front of the judge - it's not a professional look for them when they need all the credibility they can get (in court anyway - credibility in public irrelevant.) When the judge is shown yet another line of collossal blunders all for an $80 ticket, it doesnt look good for them at all.

So exploit any mistake they make with as much bullshit and strong wording as possible, and if you are lucky they will say "ahhh fuckit" and throw it in the rubbish bin. It helps to mention a few large organisations, such as the NZRTA lawyers etc - that makes then swallow hard.

I haven't been ticketed for anything for years and years, and I don't aim to be, but I know a bit about how to fuck people up so they go elsewhere.

While I dislike the pigs intensely (rant deleted) I am glad they are there getting the pissheads and other morons off the road so they don't kill your and my teenage daughters.

They make it quite clear that even if the address and date are wrong, the ticket will still be upheld. Unless you definitely were not speeding, and can prove it, just pay up.

Wrong they must have all of the imformation correct or the ticket is invalid

Do the crime, do the time. Pay the fine son.

If you don't want to pay fines, stop speeding.

I can see why you live in Edgecumbe!

Minor traffic matters are heard before JP's not a judge. Mistakes like this are quite common, tickets get cancelled and reissued frequently. If the mistake was one that would result in the ticket getting thrown out in court the Infringement Bureau will simply cancel it and send out a letter advising such.

On our South Island holiday last week it finally happened - got a ticket.
Straight road , only me and one other car, happened to be a mufti cop.
Lucky was only 115 kph. Not too big a deal.
When I got home there was a letter from the cop, date was wrong, my address was wrong on ticket. So he says that ticket is cancelled and he has issued a replacment!
Can they do this? would you pay?

Confused yet Mitch?
You will receive a ticket with your name on it, your bike's rego on it, your rider license details on it...seriously mate...$80.

WRONG mate. A minor clerical error in dates, names, number plates etc is irrelevant. Do you really believe that our legal system relies on no one ever making a mistake? Tickets will NOT become invalid due to clerical errors. Period.

[scumdog]

Sure.

But the original ticket was cancelled eh!

The new one was correct.

I hope you're only trolling and not planning to join the other KB 'I know the law' morons giving erroneous legal advice??

Strange how I have had a few reversed because of 'clerical errors' in the past then isn't it.
ANY clerical error in the ORIGINAL TICKET is enough to get it thrown out.
Any half decent lawyer will have a field day with this

Without going into the details, I cant comment on your situation. But you're correct - clerical errors will see the ticket promptly cancelled. And then reissued within minutes.
