Cops don't always go over regos and wofs at checkpoints, in my experience anyway. Guess the wife chucked out the reminder notice!

theres a checkpoint on waihi road!! *checks out the window*

blue_van_man, May 1, 6:40pm
yeah was at the round about at the waihi rd, cambridge rd intersection, they were checking everything.

I don't think they issue tickets for WOF/Reg at check points generally, just a "get it sorted sir" if they have time to check.

I have a vague memory that it might even be policy not to do so.

Ah ok, probably why I didnt see it, I don't come home that way.
