OH MY GOD, well large fines will slow those down with unsafe vehicles.
I asume that you have worked in the UK and in NZ on vehciles and there for know that it is harder to get a WOF than a MOT?
I have to say that the standard of vehicles in New Zealand is pretty low, but then hell its not much better in the UK
As Quoted by Jeza "You don't have to worry about poorly selected parts ending up on cars where I come from, the Land Transport Safety Authority has a very strict set of rules, and all modified cars have to be given an engineers approval before they can be sent through the standard set of safety tests that is required for every car on the road"
On the roads in New Zealand I saw a 1302s with a rover v8 engine in the back (hmm whats that done to the weight distubution) with a rought as guts roof chop, Upon asking the owner of this vehicle how come the law didn't stop him from driving this beast he told me that he had a modifed vehclie cert (and showedit to me- it was stuck to the firewall and it had the LTSA logo on it) he then said he didn't have a WOF because he had to fix abit of rust in the floor, when i asked him what had he done to the shocks and springs to deal with the incressed weight, and what he had done to the brakes to cope with the extra horsepower and weight he said that they were the stock parts and as far as the LTSA was concerned that was legal, he did say the man who did the checking of the vehcile wanted him to put a bag of sand in the front to counter the extra weight of the engine.... hmm so if this meets the rules in NZ how could you say the rules are thougher in NZ than in the UK???????
Reminds me of a great saying "she'll be right mate"
