You still have options

1 = Pay rego and warrent and go for the legal option.

2 = Dont pay and go for the complain if I get caught option.

3 = Buy a large portion of New Zealand and build your own roads to get you around that you can invite all your mate to use also.

I cant see what your problem is anymore.

Good luck with keeping that WOF current.

No judgement was passed on driving ability or standards.

Nice to hear from you two rebels tho. Keep 'sticking it to the man'
REspec

A WOF is no guarantee of MINIMUM safety standards either, you'd need some much more advanced cameras to determine how safe a vehicle is.
In fact, if all the police are busy fining for non-compliance using ANPR, will the number of officers on the lookout for dangerous drivers and dangerous cars decrease? Or will they employ more cops? You have to remember that the ANPR will only increase road safety if there is a heavy police presence present; otherwise all they can do is mail out fines (if the crims are kind enough to use their own plates). But I guess the sheeple are easily swayed towards the simple, narrow, viewpoint.

Now not everyone may share the exact same sentiments, but because of the extend peiod of time the general principle of the legilsation has been intact you have to assume that the generations of people it has served have been mostly happy.

cool story. but. if i'm public, that road is mine, and i can decide for myself?

i know the legislation. but i don't reckon i'm part of it, being that i've read it. and it states, reasonably clearly, that i'm not part of it.
so.......

that's pretty vengeful. i maintain your attitude would not be welcome on any marae.

what about employed drug using hippies?

On our Maraes,Wharekura's little trick would be considered funny as all hell.
It's always funny when it happens to somebody else.
Plus, revenge is still thought very cool with my lot as well.

Stands for warrant of fitness, which means the vehicle is judged fit for roads at a specific time, by people who look at the vehicle with a checklist for around 15minutes. Its an easily sell to convince the sheeple that ticking the boxes once every 6 months means safety for the time in between. Unfortunately with boy-racers swapping bits to get wofs, and people fucking their cars up in the 6 months between wofs, it simply isn't the case. But we're getting sidetracked, how about responding to the other (and more relevant to thread topic) part of my previous post.

In Britain, the gas stations have this and if you turn up in an unregistered car you are automatically fined through the post.
They say that is not how it will be used but personally- I see an untapped revenue stream here.......

Welcome to the New World Order..

Me?
I'm breaking out my best tin-foil hat toot-sweet.

Yes you're right, they likely wont be the ones funding it... But if it keeps the fuckwits from driving and potentially killing or maiming for life? Then I would rather pay the cost (Govt) of fitting the immobiliser.

When the renters next door decide to have a loud party next door, I go outside early next morning and find any cars parked on grass verge or expired regos/wofs. I then call the council that happily give out tickets - they can be very obliging on saturday/sunday mornings.

I've talked to the neighbors, pleaded with them, then warned them - nothing worked. So I used the law.

Fuck, you're a low cowardly piece of work, aren't you?
