$400 Parking offence, HELP


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

looking for some advice here. yesterday i parked my un-warranted Sub on a public road in wellington, and got absolutely destroyed with fines. $200 for: Operated an unlicensed motor vehicle-parked vehicle and another one issued at the same time for: No evidence of vehicle inspection also $200. now i have heard that i could write a letter saying that i am a poor student and provide evidence that i have now got a warrant and possibly get the fine waived or i could go to court but i am not sure what the costs or risks are involved with doing that. any help would be greatly appreciated cheers.

Get them warrants and rego tomorrow!!

I had the same thing happen, mainly cos I have a memory like a sieve and forgot them, got them the next day, took the paperwork into the Police station, fines gone!

a fine for no reg is a fkn load of **** . because you have no way of getting out of paying the due rego anyway . so regardless of if you have paid it or not at that time you will end up paying the reg for the time the vehicle is in your name

Why are you driving an unwarranted, unregistered car on the road ? It rips my undies that you do this then whinge when you get caught, I spend thousands a year to make sure my cars a fully insured, Registered and Wofed at all times while being used,

Pay the fines and dont drive the car till it is legal

soz man your screwed, put it on tic & keep in contact with the courts $1 a a day

you simply cannot park on the 'public road' with no wof or reg

once your on the grass however here it is a council issue (or footpath) depending on you local county bylaws

tehehe but your username suggest your "Rich"

making the vehicle compliant AFTER the fact is not even going to help one bit

not coming down hard on you, just thems the realities of the situation, sux to learn the hard way eh

I got a ticket for no rego once as it ran out and I didn't realize. I wrote a letter to the council people as the parking warden issued it and they dropped it for 1st offence or something like that but not having both is different and doubt they will waive it.

do you send a letter or go to a police station? i got the ticket through a wellington city council parking warden

You're ****ed, it took me 9 months to get off a no-wof no-reg fine with WCC and I was legally in the right (operating vehicle for the purpose of making it compliant) and they were still massive penises about it.

If your rego was less out you usually have a little bit of lee-way, like a couple of weeks, but yours is way out.

It's a complete f*cking rort that the council issues tickets for this, it's just a revenue gathering load of BS, but they have the bylaws in place and do it anyway.

p.s. Celia Wade-Bicycle hates cars so the council has a similar stance.

Haha i know all to well about Celia Wade's cycle plan for wellington, she would be happy to have them all gone. rich does not imply i am rich it is an abbreviation for Richard. and im not whinging, i acknowledge i screwed up, but of course if there's a way out of the fines i want to at least attempt having a go at avoiding them.

Agree with the above. Don't drive about with no reg or wof. If you crashed you'd also be uninsured and liable for all damages caused.

In saying that,... usually if you get your rego sorted straight away, they might waive half the fine.

Yeeeeah insurance companies try to pull that one all the time, it's not actually a get-out-of-jail-free card for them.

the issue ISNT he was driving around no wof no reg (that's a whole different kettle of fish & you guys are over-thinking it)

the cars "sounds" like it was simply parked at the curb not displaying current reg & wof, fixing that the next day will have zero impact on the 'infringement" as it wasn't current at the time of the ticket being issued

its not like a a police officer who may give you 14 days compliance or something like that

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
