Is your window wiper covering part of the licence label! Not sure if that can earn you a fine, but maybe if the "enforcer" was in a mood to nit pick .!

It seems crazy, 3 other people looked and couldn't see anything wrong. Went straight to council building. They said I had to write a letter as I couldn't speak to anyone, then it just my word against theirs

Here you go: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/49/vehicle-licensing.html Our parking wardens take pics when they issue the ticket.Obviously if the label was on the car ask the parking people WTF! and ask them to show you the evidence that label not displayed correctly.

Think that's bad, what about motorcycle owners who's regos and WOFs are all over the place! my WOF lives behind my licence plate, so a lazy officer wouldn't see it.

Just a thought, is it made out to your car!

Yes it's for my car as I , correctly , received one at same time for not paying the meter. Happy to pay that one.

Just check that the rego number on the ticket is yours.Some people whack the notices under the wipers of cars parked next to them - and I suppose some people just pay without checking.

I keep my wof in my wallet so the coppers can't remove it and then say I don't have one.
Always put some money in $12 expired meter v's $40 no ticket.

I had the same problem. (Brand new vehicle. Wof not displayed ) I think either the warden was a dwarf and couldn't see that high or was totally stupid.Whatever the reason, I rang in straightaway and was told to write in.Totally brassed off, but they did cancel it. If it had been the second WoF, it would have been either bottom left or right and not top right, which is where I prefer it. For tall drivers, it can create a bad blind spot especially on steeply raked screens in sports cars.

Just re checked, ticket is defiantly my car. Hate it cos it's got me worked up and I have to wait for them to respond to a letter I don't want to write.

Mine is directly behind the rear vision mirror for exactly that reason, can't see it from the inside.

The whole point of specifying that the wof label had to go "as close as possible to the edge of the windscreen where it is clearly visible from the outside and is not obscured by an anti-glare band or sticker" was so you did see it.

It took them a couple of months to respond to my letter, they had just put the new meters in in PN and I printed a receipt as I didn't trust it. and I was right. lol
