Hi out there in Beautiful NZ.

 

I have just come back to the UK from a magic 7 week holiday Motorcycle touring in New Zealand.

 

On February 11 I got a speeding ticket. which I have just received in the UK.

 

When checking the Ticket I found that the drivers License number was in correct to the UK License I presented to the Police Officer when I was apprehended. I asked a NZ lawyer and he said I should pay the ticket as the Police can change details if they are incorrect . However when I iast lived in NZ in the 1980's I got off a speeding Ticket as the ticket had the incorrect make of car on it. When I wrote to the Transport Authority at that time claiming that The make of car did not match the registration number the ticket was cancelled.

 

I have until the 25/04/19 to pay the current speeding ticket which is $170 for 125 kmh. I did explain to the police officer at the time that I was wearing a legal open face helmet and it was better for my safety to pass cars in front of me so I didn't get sprayed with shingle and road debris by the vehicles in front of me.

 

Any first hand advise on how to have this speeding ticket quashed would be greatly appreciated

No you’re incorrect on this matter, the law was changed to fix this. You’re still liable to pay the fine.
