A Lovely Leaving Present

It was our last day in NZ and as we said our sad goodbyes to Mum, Dad and Casper, Dad noticed that I still didnt have a warrant of fitness on my car. Mum said “knowing your luck you will get caught today”.

Sure enough as I turned right onto the main road there waiting for me was a police checkpoint. And the cop wasnt happy that my warrant of fitness had expired back in March! I had to do some quick talking and explained that we dont actually live in NZ and we hadnt been driving for that long without one. (Well only the last 1.5 months). Anyway, that was a nice leaving present, a bloody $200 fine!
