Ahh bugger .. you get caught at the rear .. cowboyz gets pinged out front .. so somewhere in between you too is the place to ride huh

[yod]

[banditrider]

Will re-run the ride again at some stage seeing that we didn't stick to the planned route. Probably in the new year - a lot of riding on in the next wee while...

[cowboyz]

[Horse]

Not quite enough to be walkin. Could have done without it.

Bugger!

[NZsarge]

Opps, sounds expensive mate, where did ya get pinged?

[86GSXR]

Shite! Sorry to hear that. Well, there is a brightside, you're still riding. Bummer though.

Napier-Taupo, not long off the plains. Mufti commodore.

[Meanie]

That sucks, how many demerits did you get

[yod]

35 is the norm

i thought they were reducing fines considerably and increasing demerits considerably

not sure when it's supposed to happen though

[yod]

just found this:

Exceeding the speed limit by up to 10 km/h 10points
Exceeding the speed limit by 11-20 km/h 20points
Exceeding the speed limit by 21-30 km/h 35points
Exceeding the speed limit by 31-35 km/h 40points
Exceeding the speed limit by 36 km/h or more 50points

They'll be lucky if they're allowed bikes.

Have heard that the demerits go on as soon as you complete the transaction so sooner ya pay the sooner the points are gone. Not sure how accurate that is but could be worth it. Off to see the bank manager tomorrow...

The date you pay the fine may have little relevance to you.

The important date is the date of offence. The points remain active for a 2 year period from the date of offence. They are cancelled when a licence holder is disqualified for a period of 6 months or more, or when a licence holder is suspended for demerit points. If a licence holder accumluates 100 or more points within a 2 year period then the points all remain active until the last offence that took the total 2 100 is older than 2 years. Section 88 - 92 of the Landtransport Act 1998 might be worth a look at.
