New Ngauranga camera

It looks like the Ngauranga gorge Camera has been changed to a rego plate recognition camera, If your rego is on hold an other route may be better

yeah a bit of a bummer. Finally decided today that there was no camera in the gorge so not to watch the speedo - luckily spotted the new fitting just in time. Wasn't rocketing down but the first number on the dial was a 9 and not an 8 when I spotted it.

Good thing I brought new rego the other day then, generally I do 80 till just after the camera seen a few cops on the other side pulling people up however

Foot over numberplate should solve the problem...

Thanks for the warning.

Are these cameras going to be the norm now?

how do you tell the difference from a speed and rego checking camera?

They took away the old enclosure and now have put up a new totally different one. They are introducing rego cameras. What's your bet that they wont install a rego camera when they run a camera in the enclosure? Especially with this being one of the most profitable locations in NZ.

I feel safer already!!

So if the rego was on hold, what would the fine be? I would assume there would be no demerit point portion to the offence as points dont apply to speeding offences detected by camera.

riding with rego on hold is demerit point issue if caught by the popo.

I believe 150 bucks unless it's changed ?

No plate = no bucks unless nabbed.
