Missed seeing it on TV but found this:

Pretty nasty stuff - bad enough that the AA was giving away licences but now you can buy them from your friendly neighbourhood Triad (OK, an assumption on my part that if it's a criminal activity earning money in the Asian community, the Triads have got their greedy little meat-hooks into it)

Not too long ago there was a dairy in Mangere selling WoFs - the LTSA sent in a guy...there was the sign....WoF $30....he asked for one,paid his money and walked out with a new WoF for his car.How dumb can you get,they don't even know such things are illeagal,in their own country it's just how the system works.

Surely no worse than the fraud the gummint pulled when they cancelled our 'lifetime' licences a few years back.

But the gummint is allowed to defraud us - which is why they're so against other fraudsters ("demarcation" is the official term, it basically means "we don't want competition")

Oh FFS, surely they know it's illegal - it can't be legal in their own country - general store owner deems vehicle to be safe without any tests or inspections? Yeah right. They're knowingly breaking the law - except here they can pull the "so sorry, don't understand, not know law, no speak english" crap that would not wash in their own country.

You're Terry Pratchett masquerading as a mental case living in Hamilton, aren't you?

This is the kinda thing that happens in South africa all the time, you can buy drivers licenses, passports, vehicle registrations etc etc. My father in law tried to renew a vehicle license (almost like a wof) in SA for me a couple of weeks ago and they told him only I can do it even though I am here in NZ, but he was allowed to completely re-register the car without so much as a signature from me. Go figure.

I think the real Pratchett is older and balder, but I agree, scarily close.

I assume you are referring to the second half of the comment...

He aint Terry pratchett, but he does have a wicked sence of humour and hes just read and reread far too many of terry's books, and besides if he was Terry Pratchett where's all the money? and why do i have to buy his books why can't he just hand em over?

Well, the real Pratchett is certainly bald! - almost as bald as Jim!

You got it. What has realy pissed me off with this licence scam is that they are prepared to put drivers out on the road and endanger the citizens of a country that gave them a second chance. If any of these arsholes have NZ citizenship I hope it is taken off them. Probably not possible. And what about those Asians who knowingly knew what they were doing when they paid up the $400 plus. Just watch the Government run from that one.
