It was discussed here a while back.

Cheers for that. I searched, but obviously under different heading.

[FJRider]

As I recall ... the wording is MAY be required ... in other words ... it is STILL an option they have if they choose.

[pritch]

Hopefully they'll wake up and realise it wouldn't change anything. Although I do realise that'd be a lot to ask.

If there was a move to make us hand in plates, and if I was of a mind to ride around their half-arsed notion, I'd just put wing nuts on the moped plate.

If it happened, i could see it becoming a logistical nightmare for the VTNZ stations. Which would again increase the costs of Regos accross the board to cover for the admin side of things associated with holding plates.

And I doubt that they would be handed back. That would mean a storage issue/charge. They would be more likely destroyed, and new plates issued on re-registration. With a charge of the new plates included.

Yeah and too bad if you hand them over in Wangarei then try to reinstate in Invergiggle. It would take them a month to find and ship the plates.

Can't see them issuing a new plate for one day rego, but you never know.

Disaster waiting to happen. Good on ya NZTA

All reasons why they probably wont. But may be an option (automaticlly ???) for those vehicles that get those green/pink stickers roadside. Or those repeat offenders of non-registration.

I saw on an Aussie cop program ... with them taking plates off vehicles wiith false/wrong plates roadside .... Things can only get tougher here ...

they'd have to store personalised plates..?

[EJK]

We could always make copies

You own personalised plates. But they must be assigned a vehicle. UN-assigned plates are effectivly dead plates .... If Confiscated, and destroyed ... and NOT in the system ... they could be RE-made ...

Those with plates they want to keep on their vehicle ... should be the one's taking the greasest care to see they are not taken.

You don't need to make copies. You can go and buy duplicate plates, with the same number as you already have. The NZTA sell em.
