Some people get it. Some don't. Looks like we're wasting our time with the OP as they want the money. Even though it will end up costing them more than the effort of writing an explanation.

And heres one that definitely doesn't get it.
Going to court is one of the last options, not the first option.

sorry but at this stage Im starting to think about the poor tax payer! probably be a lot cheaper for everyone if you foot the bill and learn from it. and should you be so unfortunate for something like this to ever happen again, deal with it promptly! make sure the car your in on your way to the court house has a current WOF if it hasn't for christ sake stop at a garage en-route and get one for it!

read factsheet 27 properly, first Vehicle exemption ,,,you may not have to pay registration and licensing fees (but your vehicle still has to be registered) . that means your vehicle has to have a rego if you are driving on the road,, the exemptionis only talking about paying fees.
2]]]]There is a temporary exemption from licensing, when a registered but unlicensed vehicle is used on the road solely for the purpose of obtaining a warrant of fitness (WoF) or certificate of fitness (CoF), in order to then obtain a vehicle licence.
so conclusion you will lose the court case. you might claim you are entitled to driveon the road without a wof or cof but the act clearly states the car must be registered .

Go do some more reading. His vehicle WAS registered. It was however, unlicensed, for which there is a defence, as described above.

No, he doesn't. He has a ticket for no WoF and no LICENCE. For this there is a defence, should he choose to try. Horse.water.ahh forget it.

This thread is making me feel dumber. People need to learn the law a little better

You are correct.He has a defence if he can prove that the vehicle was being driven on the road for the purposed stated.
At this stage the only thing he seems to have done is get it to a garage and by his own admission nothing else has been done to it.It will be difficult to establish any justifiable reason why it was on the road since it doesn't seem to have had any WOF repairs or inspection done on it since the ticket.It would be far easier to defend if he had an invoice for WOF repairs or a WOF checksheet immediately following the ticket.

Problem is you can't go shopping under the obtaining a wof exemption.Obviously if "picking things up" its not likely to be wof related, nor do I believe you can use a unwoffed vehicle to go shopping for bits to get a wof either however in most cases the authorites take a pracmatic view.
