They have only declined about 9 of 36000 transactions on opted out people. If you don't want that dodgy towie, Freds sister at the insurance company or any other scumbag having access to your details after you have opted out, send that email as well.

The driver of the vehicles are responsible for toll and ticket fee's (and always has been) ... and registered owners are required to give information to the relevant authorities if asked (subject to a large fine if they don't) regardless who the LEGAL owner is. Nothing will change that.

Irrelevant. The person who is sent the initial contact regarding stationery vehicle offences and unpaid road tolls is the registered owner, not the driver, because they don't know who the driver is. The registered owner can then either say "I wasn't driving, this other bozo was" or pay up or fight the accusation.

The person they might nominate as the driver can also deny the offence and say they weren't the person driving. It falls back on the registered owner. That's not necessarily the legal owner. Lease vehicles are registered in the name of the entity leasing it.

If NO relationship applies ... why is an owner/phyisical address required on applications for vehicle registration... ???

It is solely for recording the details of the person responsible for the vehicle. It has no standing outside of that purpose.

"Stationery"? You leave my envelopes out of it please!

Use some stationery.

Write on it. I OPTED OUT. Dont sell my personal details.

And send it to the NZTA.

However, 100% of the 4000 plus queries resulted in the opted out persons details being disclosed.

Got my response today.

100% of the 6000 plus preconsidered applications were released for opted out persons.
>90% of the 500 plus MR31 applications were also release for opted out persons.

Doesn't seem much point in opting out now does there?

I got a response today too but I'll need to give it a little read later as I asked different questions. A question for the folks here though: When I received my expired rego notice, would an MR31 have to have been requested from the NZTA to get my personal and address details?

Are you really asking if they have to fill out a form to get the data from themselves which you gave them for contacting the registered person for that vehicle?

Of course they do and as its a advertising campaign it should be denied for hose that opt'd out.

Granted I read it a while ago, but aren't the parking wardens employed by an overseas company, somewhere in Luxembourg? I'll have another read of the document sent to me today, but I was told that I was unable to opt out as my license and bike details were not logged against each other in their system. That has me wondering how they found my address detail in order to send me the infringement.

Also covered in the document is that once the CEO approves an "entity" that will make bulk requests, the requests will be sent out (without MR31 request (will validate that later)) irrespective of opt-out status. Which then has me wondering how my details are then used by the 3rd party and whether they are bound by the same rules as the NZTA, them being private and all. I'll have another read of the PDF later to verify the MR31 requirement for bulk requesters.

I Reg the bike to my parents & the bike lives at mine. & good luck to any prick trying to follow me home to find where I live, as I live in a no exit street with a walkway ( that the bike has been up before ) & down a long drive with a few houses at the end

Well got my OIA reply today . In summary In 1 year 545 standard requests received for opted out info and 505 had information released.

7457 "pre-considered" aplications where received for opted out peopel and all released.

so out of 8002 requests all but 40 had the information released.

Seems to me opting-out isn't.

[FJRider]

Has anybody asked NZTA how many requests for their information has been recieved ... how many given ... and from/to who ... ??????????????

How very clever

And when they get no response (or money) fron you ... they pass it on to a debt collection angency. So when ... at a later time ... YOU apply for credit somewhere ... it will be DECLINED (I hate that word)

So a $10 parking ticket turns into a much bigger sum ... and lots of embarrasment for you.

Blank section addresses often gets the powers that be upset ... if a traffic offence ticket gets the "return to sender, address non-existant" ... You don't need to be stopped to be issued a ticket.

Falsification of your vehicle details are taken seriously by some goverment departments.
