| 876602 | 2010-04-15 02:22:00 | Ran out on the last day of last month, so 2 weeks 2 days today (or 2 weeks 1 day yesterday). I will be picking up new rego on the way home from work today. All the same, with rego, its not like you can cheat the system by skipping a month between cycles to get 'free time', whenever you end up paying, you are still paying for the exact same amount of time. There should be a grace period - have 5 working days to prove that your registration is up-to-date or pay the fine. It was a genuine mistake, I wasn't intentionally not paying - I forgot to check and there we have it. Its not like its hurting people either like out of date WoF potentially can. george12 Yea I know.. I still don't like them, once that ticket has be written its over. Sieg heil mein fuhrer? |

| 876603 | 2010-04-15 02:54:00 | You will be amazed how many cars are driven round without a current WOF or rego. Saw one on the road that hadn't been registered for 2 years. :) |

To register a car you have to have a current WOF. I am not suggesting you don't have a current WOF BTW. |

Yea I realize that :) Just saying that if your WoF is out of date, it could potentially be dangerous to others while driving your car. But registration? C'mon - so I missed the payment by a shaving over 2 weeks - the cost of the bill is more than I pay for rego for a damn year anyway. Seems utterly retarded. |

| 876606 | 2010-04-15 05:03:00 | Just a note to readers... a "rego" is actually a licence. Registration of a vehicle is when a car is originally registered. Licence is what you pay for each year to allow you to run your car legally on the road. | Greg (193) | ||
| 876607 | 2010-04-15 05:24:00 | Got caught with bus rego 1 day expired last year was fined $650. Office tart had actually bought the rego it was in her handbag but the offence was not displaying it. I could have made the driver pay but of course didnt. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 876608 | 2010-04-15 06:02:00 | Gotta love those little nazis... Anyway, I received a parking fine last night for: "Using a vehicle while not displaying a current licence label in the manner required" And the bastards want me to cough up a $200 fine. Turns out my rego expired 2 weeks ago so I'm guessing thats what it is relation too. My question is, can parking wardens fine you for having out of date registration? I thought that was more of a policing job than a parking wardens. Obviously I will be updating my registration today and writing a letter of appeal to Berlin and the SS. :devil Anyone had any experiences with this? If so what was the outcome? yes they can write a ticket for no rego or WOF. many people try and appeal, very few get results. you admitted that you are in breach of the law. on what grounds do you think you can appeal? |

| 876609 | 2010-04-15 06:31:00 | Also parking wardens have been known to give tickets for insuffcient tread depht on your tyres. If you got new tyres and took the reciept to the councils traffic dept. office within 28 days they would waiver the fine. :) I have heard the same. But as far as I'm concerned if their aren't licensed to issue a wof, their shouldn't be able to judge your car un wof if you have a current wof on it. I have been pinged for no reg lately, not much hope of getting out of it. I let it go to court, now repaying at $5 a week. Car was parked outside work in a non time limited zone, no meters. So what the **** were parking wardens doing there |

So what the **** were parking wardens doing there The parking people issued an infringment notice and they have the power to do so. The alleged offence is failing to display a current license label or current wof. I assume that the said parking people were out there being paid to do a job. |
