Ah excellent, further making the WoF sticker a useless overpriced piece of paper while continuing to increase Govt $$$

video wont work for me, I just read the blurb bit.
what happens if an officer thinks something isnt legit? does driver have to fork out money for some kind of check to prove otherwise?
There was an episode on motorway patrol (I think) where an absolute wanker of a PIG handed a guy a fine & green sticker (might have been pink?) for a missing bumper on his car despite this guy having got a WoF that same day & the missing bumper even mentioned on the WoF sheet under the notes
So the (lets for arguments sake say) Qualified WoF inspector deemed this guys car "safe" but then the arse of a PIG comes along, decides in his "expert" opinion the car is unsafe just so he can hand out a ticket being desperate to perform for the camera (& I'm sure behind on hisquotaKPI's) as he failed to get this guy on anything legit; meaning, because of the illegal way the police operate & the corruption of the legal system, the victim is now forced to pay more money just to prove the exact same thing he had already proven that day.

Well the que at 'drink drive' aka rego and wof checkpoints will get even longer now. Will be doing a ripping u turn at next checkpoint and taking a detour rather than que in the heat while some poor sod ahead argues his tread depth...
Truckers already now about these 'quick' checks... quick is anywhere from 7-20mins of your life stolen and that's if they don't find anything wrong.
But in reality I guess it will just be like the 4km thing, they will just use it when it suits them as its just extra workload for them too.
Funny eh? the govt says we only need 12 month WOF but now we need cops 'twirling' around our motors every five mins, told people this would happen...
Just wait till they extend the power to parking wardens...
http://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/news...ry-car-stoppedPolice are to begin checking every car they stop to make sure it is safe for the road - and that involves a five-point Twirl test: tyres, windscreen wipers and mirrors, indicators, rust and lights
I have to say I'm a bit luke warm about Police spending time doing this. We have qualified vehicle inspectors who's sole job is to inspect vehicles and check them (aka WOF inspectors). They are specially trained in interpreting the WOF requirements.
I'm thinking of our primary car at the moment, whose tyres I know are getting low on tread (and will be replaced this year). I don't want to get a $150 fine because a Police officer during a random stop determines that they are not happy with the tread depth. I think I might put my tread depth gauge in the car boot just so I can prove the tyres are legal.
I wonder if Police will also start carry tread depth gauges so they can measure tyres properly, or if they'll just be using an eyeball.
I'm sure the Police would already being taking appropriate action about vehicles which are clearly unsafe. Do we really need Police, who on the whole are unqualified vehicle inspectors (and will probably not have formal measuring tools), to start conducting formal road side vehicle inspections?
Can't wait till they try and adjust BOSSLADY's bike on the side of the road...
youre a day late dear. Thread already exists.
My brother got pulled over and was asked if he was doing skids. Cop goes and checks rear tires. Car is a FWD, cop looks like a idiot.
So was my brother doing skids? Yes, yes he was...
