This has been suggested in the past for a group of freinds with multiple bikes. First everyone chips in and starts a "bike company" next you apply for aN LTSA number. Next the group of mates applies for trade plates. As long as the bike has a current WOF and the yellow plate is on the bike then it has rego. This will ONLY work for a group of mates with multiple bikes each or the economy of scale just aint worth it

It's actually $100 fine and 25 demerits for having no rego now.

I'm sure you don't actually believe that.

No, no patrol ones. Yet. But they do have computer access to the NZTA database - just not sure if it's live or local though.

Hmmm I wonder if the total $ take for bike rego has actually increased! Like everyone else it seems, I now rego my bike November to end April then put on hold for six months. Still ride while on hold but as I live in Welly not very much over the winter LOL Been stopped twice in ten years for random check so the odds of getting caught when on hold are fu$k all!

The tax collectors have been ramping that up.

from what i saw it is indeed hooked up for more or less instant pulling over. there was a traffic cop parked to the inside of it, another 200 odd meteres down the road as well as cones in the centreline, one opposite that , another 200 metres further back on other side of road and one mobile unit. the booze bus was there to but not sure if they were doing breath testing or just using it as the office for processing

What I meant was whether it was just an offline onboard database that is updated daily or whether it is real time link to the source.

Actually (yes I know this as fact) using a false plate comes under "uses a document for pecuniary advantage" (yes a plate is considered a document in law) and carries a possible 5 years imprisonment under the crimes act
