Porirua Parking Wardens

Jenny from Titahi Bay

Beware when getting your new car registration (rego) from the AA centre in Porirua.
A friend went down to get her new rego from the AA, but upon arrival found they had left the form at home, they thought taking in the soon to be old one, would give the necessary information. That however left a car parked in the Cobham Court Centre without a rego displayed.
You guessed it, along comes a parking warden and a $200 fine was handed out. The AA said it is a regular occurrence.
A nice money pit for the Council (no apparently they hand the money on) - who refused to listen to the explanation, or accept that the vehicle had a current registration.
