Sorry, registration not WoF.
Yeah, the child seat one was a real surprise.
Do you do much driving after dark? When I look back, I think every alcohol checkpoint I've been through has been after dark. And I'm pretty sure they check WoF (not rego) at the same time since it's right there on the driver's side, but I haven't seen a checkpoint specifically for WoF (or rego). I have heard of people getting tickets for no rego after having sweeps of car parks done, but I don't think this is police-led.
Hardly drive at all actually, compared to when I was younger. Generally night time driving is "home from the restaurant".
My experience is very anecdotal and definitely had selection bias for my small amount of travel.
We moved where the work was so family all live a long way away, so we spend many evenings driving to visit. They aren't exactly common but I think we probably go through one a year on average.
Thats me and my spouse's excuse for not visiting my in-laws. They are genuinely unpleasant to be around for any length of time: so we don't.
Haha I'd use that excuse too if I needed to. Luckily both families get along and are generally pretty enjoyable to visit.
