And they also need to have the rego slip too. Thats what my wof man said while we were checking the handful of body tags to match my car.
Maybe they will ask for plates if people get wofs but the car sits on hold.
They should know we are kiwis and all have project cars x5

Well I could say it all - as I have done it all over the years apart from software dev, ok I write scripts and HTA apps for Admin tasks or if a users needs a custom app that is nice and small. But these days networking, tech research (what direction should my employer take form MIS stand point), security, dns and smtp, AD, Linux blah blah lots and lots really. You know Jack of all trades master at none lol

Now I know why you wanted the header - I will check my deleted mail.......no I cleared it out already - I don't keep my personal email very long

well this is yet another website creating hysteria amongst classic car owners.

read the way this is worded:
"allowing the NZ Transport Agency to require people to surrender licence plates when putting their licensing on hold or to decline an application to put licensing on hold when a person has abused this right in the past."

Key word = allowing , no mention of mandatory or compulsory. Logistically this is never going to happen. They don't have the means to have a large storage shed full of plates and records to ensure the right plate goes back to the right person.

At this point in the game all this is a hair brain IDEA and nothing more.

Take this in context, he is talking about people abusing the on hold registration ie drive around with license on hold NOT people who legitimately put registration on hold to make repairs etc.

Secondly Ministers cannot just write something into law because they came up with it and they are the minister in charge. This is the process when creating/changing law in NZ:

In other words , a truck load of hoops before its final. Its not a hot public interest topic either (like the anti smacking, boy racer, clayton weatherston I did it because she provoked me stuff) which means it can take years.

Moral is , don't believe everything you read.

Thats exactly it right derr.

The number of people who bother to put their rego on hold and then drive the vehicle must be minute compared to the number that just don't bother; Don't bother changing ownership, don't bother getting a Wof, don't bother registering, don't bother getting a licence, don't bother getting insurance... etc, etc, etc. Great to see the great bureaucratic system has found a way to deal with problems like these by making it possible for them in the future to remove our valued Black plates because we are restoring a piece of NZ History. That should teach us all!
