You seem to infer that use of discretion means you have been let off. Maybe they just realise you are a dick and use discretion to ticket you!

No no no, you have this all wrong. 1. Its "licenseing" not "registering" two very different things. 2. You can't license a vehicle without a current WOF. (with the exception of some classes of license, which are not applicable here). 3. The law allows you to use a vehicle that is both unlicensed AND un Wof'd on the road for the purposes of obtaining a WOF.
Hope that clarify's.
BTW, it would be really good if you could actually read and take some time to comprehend what I have posted.
You seem to think that booking a vehicle in for a WOF will prevent you getting a ticket and you also seem to think you also automatically get "compliance" if you are stopped without a WOF.
Neither of which are correct and form the basis of the problem.
Also, its already been explained that its far more efficient to check if a vehicle is booked in for a WOF on the side of the road than to issue a ticket.

Anyhow, thankyou everyone. I am going to give this thread a swerve now as while there has been some great robust discussion its just descending into pointless circles now. Please feel free to continue to post amongst yourselves if you wish.

You're only saying that because you know I'm right. Did you see Clownbull Live last night! They went through Manukau East where Ross Robertson has been their MP for 21 years and nobody they asked even recognised his photo. That's because they vote on colour (red) not policy due to their ignorance of what's actually happening around them.

LOL you've just gone all out to prove you know nothing! You'll get no argument from me on that point.

Where did you get those figures! Last stats I saw said 40% of population does not trust cops in NZ. they need to smarten up big time. also parliament needs to stop passing more and more laws for the cops to enforce.and often stuff up.

Well see why you get ticketed for every thing. Always found in my profession that those that revert to name calling were always the least intelligent

What a joke, Police, as always, are among the most trusted professions in the country. Maybe 40% of the people you hang out with dont trust them, but clearly that is not representative of the population. Look at the latest OMR surveys.For police to be in the top few professions is very good, because they dont deal with good news for everyone, most instances they deal with will be a negative for one or other party, and yet they are among the most trusted professions. What stats did you see! A poll from the people at Occupy Dunedin maybe!

Police officers who don't even understand traffic legislation aren't exactly known for their intelligence either.

"There is no reason why such a trip could not be logged automatically online if need be. But really this would all be a non-issue if the NZ Police were sensible and operated under the guise of common sense"
and whos going to pay to employ all the public servants to go through the records and check wether or not the recipient of the ticket had lodged a trip report stating they were going to the wof shop and wether or not the road they were on was the quickest way to their local wof station or wether they were merely driving without awof and then theres the whole bureaucracy around insurance claims as to wether or not you had a valid reason for not having a wof .so yeh better to just take your chances

Think of how much it costs you, the taxpayer every time an innocent person has to defend one of these rediculous tickets in court!

It wouldn't happen at all if there was a decent system in place. Injustice happens alot more than you think, alot of it doesn't even reach the courts as people feel powerless to win.
My point was that the cost of implementing a system to make sure innocent people are not fined isn't all that expensive compared to all the court costs and wasted time the current system incurs. God forbid it might even be fair. Seems there are alot of people here who like getting tickets!

Unfortunately a lot that post here seem to operate on the principle that because it hasn't happened to them, then it does not happen !
