    The people of this country would be much happier too. They'd KNOW which ones to hate...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    didn't think he HAD to work after tardme but it allowed him to do some epic bike tours. Wonder if the scheme members will still be offered the discounts on his books? guess not

    Did G actually profit from TM? It was set up, run and then sold by his son.

    More than half of them show as having no WoF, no registration, registration on hold, or the rider having no or the incorrect licence.
    There was me thinking all bike riders were law abiding citizens who we cops picked on totally unfairly. Seems it's fair after all.
    Troll.
    I am just going to chuck it out there.....but perhaps police are not intelligent enough to operate such a technical device.

Like, a matt black Nissn Skyline with cut springs, fluffy dice, loud exhaust, tinted windows etc is probably the property of the 18 year old spotty faced irk, rather than his never-even-had-a-parking-ticket mother, to whom the vehicle is registered for insurance purposes.

    So the term was changed to registered person to remove the impression that the person to whom a vehicle is registered actually owns it. Source was a legislation change a few months ago.

    Just FYI.

    I find this answer strangely informative. Must stop that.

    yes. He got a big slice of the pie as his sons bankroller but as I can't find a reference please apply salt as desired.

    With Wikipedia blackout had to use other sources. According to the Herald he gave away what he made from trademe

    While his son scooped up $200 million in the purchase, Morgan senior netted a share of $47 million, which he donated to charity.

    IIRC he was an early shareholder (and basically funded it thru the rough patch): printed $45Mill or something out of it. A couple of the staff walked with a few mill each.

    Sack the Popos, employ lots more machines, then call it the MoT.
    Quick question. If we did all of this - would you guys actually do police work.
    If so - I am all for it. However I fear the reality would be that you would just become "administrators" for the MoT.

    As for disregard for the rest? no, I highly doubt it. rebelling against "taking the stick" more likely. But given your view on it & the way people view/argue ACC funding. I'd say the Govts divide & conquer is working quite well
    You're conveniently overlooking the very real possibility of TPTB saying "the ACC levy intake has dropped dramatically so to compensate for that we are going to need to increase the levy again just as dramatically".

    you are forgiven because you left out the bit that is most important to most people in that it never proved or was allowed to be used as proof of ownership anyhow. Surprised they didn't change way back when Sir Robert Jones had his car registered in his dog's name.

    Bah! Semantics. Fucken PC bullshit. Barring finance owing, the registered 'person' is still the registered 'owner'. Nothing changes. It's not as though the word 'owner' has the same connotations as 'nigger', for instance.
    A sensible person would think that the pollies had more important stuff to deal with...but, obviously not. It takes time debating this crap.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
