Brass button. Uses a "puck" rather than an organic plate. Had one on my car, can be a bit tricky to get off the line sometimes.Originally Posted by awa355
Either way is tragic that they can take someones property like that, theft!

Just faidin away!
Hmmm has HAMISH MCNEILLY actually told the whole story or is he perhaps looking for some unwarranted sensationalist sympathy?
Seems a very harsh penalty for a (one off?) "little bit of lost traction"!- Nice car by the way!

It sounds like he repeatedly failed the attitude test, not only with the police but also subsequently in court.
What I don't understand is why they confiscate the car and sell it, then give him the money? Probably doesn't apply so much in this case, but for your average boy racer they could just take the cash and buy another car to go out and do skids in, a bit of an inconvenience but not much of a deterrent.

Your correct in that not the whole story is being told here, for s129 of the Sentencing Act (vehicle confiscation) to be enacted there needs to be a previous qualifying offence conviction within the preceding 5 years. The previous offence could be anything from same offending, EBA, Dangerous Driving or similar. Also the 12 month disqualification would indicate previous offending.Hmmm has HAMISH MCNEILLY actually told the whole story or is he perhaps looking for some unwarranted sensationalist sympathy?

He's probly racked up many fines, prior thingos, and couldn't afford to pay another. Didn't help to fail the attitude test in court though. Wonder if the 'sorry officer I didn't know the wheels were spinning' has ever worked?

If I recall correctly it was some businessmans new merc that was the first car to get impounded for sustained loss of traction under the boyracing act, so I don't see why, if the businessman was a habitual offender, they wouldn't do the same as in this article to him.
Pretty odd to think that such laws wouldn't apply to people who are well off, although I'd imagine they may be more careful about their attitude as they know how important it is, and how much they would have to lose. Or at least their lawyers would advise them such.
Yeah, nah.

"to register" is "to abandon (to the crown in right of new zealand)"
if a vehicle is registered, even if you believe you're "the person registered in respect of [that] motorvehicle" even if you have a sale and purchase agreement identifying it and you
- YOU DONT OWN IT
fucken ell.
the crown didn't "take" anyones anything, he gave it to them.
