Plus a few demerit points too

Usually give you 7 days to get a new one and be let off fine.

$200

No demerits.

If however it is your vehicle licence (rego) that's out though, same fine, but you get 20 demerits too, since having your rego clearly makes you a much safer driver than having your WoF.

Depends on when your wof ran out

No demerits for no WoF.

Demerits+fine for no rego.

NB: The fines and demerts are listed in the Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999 act.

No WoF is listed near the top of Schedule 1
"Operating vehicle without displaying current evidence of vehicle inspection or certificate of loading, where the vehicle is not a heavy motor vehicle or is not used in a transport service??

Thanks for the info.just got a fine from a nosey city council spotty little herbert / metermaid, and it was $200.00.just seemed bloody high and was not sure if it was any different to a Police issued one
Oh well will just to have to wear it, or should I say the client I was visiting at the time will pick up the tab "oh the job took a couple of hours longer than I though".

There's a highly moralistic and principled view for you!

That's ethics for you!

jason18, Aug 16, 1:59pm
Jez what a shit attitude! Why not get a wof and not charge the client. I hope that was a joke.

kazbanz, Aug 16, 2:04pm
How is it in any way the responsibility of the Cop/meter maid/council worker that you chose to drive your car and park it without a WOF!
Can you not accept personal responsibility for YOUR actions!.

Charges clients $100 per hour but doesn't have the brains to keep his vehicle legal!How does that work!

nightsky1, Aug 16, 3:08pm
have to agree with this.

No tolerance,s as of 1 August 2012.

you think you got it rough. try this one ., i hear of some lady getting a ticket for No reg, No wof, not producing a current drivers licence and have her car green stickered for a incorrectly inflatted tyre then got told to shut up or she'd get another ticket for blocking a driveway and incorrect parking when being pulled over by the police ., Now that would totally suck!

Sounds fair to me. All of that could have easily been avoided with a little common sense
