I received a letter today from the RTA dated the 15th telling me that my bike rego has been suspended as of the 15th and will be cancelled on the 29th. The reason for the suspension and pending cancellation is that my bike numberplates had been handed back to the RTA by persons other than the registered owner.
I called the RTA and informed them that the numberplates were still firmly affixed to my bike and that they must have made a mistake. I was told that my plates had definately been handed in and unless I attended an rta office with proof that I still had the plates in my possession then cancellation would occur on the 29th. I told the moron from the RTA that I was working on site and could not take the time off work to fix their mistake. I told him that I could not get time off till Monday and asked if he could suspend the cancellation till then, the answer - no.
Thats when I lost my cool, be f****d if I'm going to drop everything and help fix their mistake, I asked him what is involved in having the cancellation lifted Monday when I attend the RTA office and prove I still have the plates. HE said my plates would have to be surrended and new plates issued, that If I wanted my plates back I would have to pay for re-issue and possibly wait 2 years until they were cleared for re-release. All reregistration costs are to be paid by me.
How f*&^ing rediculous. So I am riding an unregistered vehicle till Monday.
