You should get let off that no worries. I nearly had this happen when i took my bosses van to get a rego one lunch time in town. I hoped out of the van and walked down the rd towards the post office and noticed a parking officer walk past. I stopped and watched him walk and fair enough he stopped by the van looked where the rego label would usually be had a good investigate noticed i was watching him and walked away..

yng_750 247 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 yea will go have a chat to them tomorrow i was initially dumbfounded as i was like 1 min overdue on the meter when i got back and saw a ticket and was like seriously he must have been waiting for me to expire then just saw the $200 and just went blank it wasnt till i handed it to a friend that he noticed it was for reg not parking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 1945 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 Sister got let off a similar fine in Auckland a few months back. Just sent a copy of the receipt and ticket into them and they responded a few days later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
323e30 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 in future just get a 65$ A-class exemption reg. If you plan to drive car while not warranted it can save you a bit of money. This reg is ment to be for Non motorway or highway roads. and is limited to 90kms per hour so its not completely fool proof but 9/10 you will be pulled over on regular streets anyway.
