1247694 2011-12-07 23:00:00 Did you know that in NZ you can drive illegally drive a unregistered car and unwarranted car on the roads. The only way you will get caught if you get pulled over by the Police for a traffic infringment or get a parking infringment by your local council who check up to see if your car is unregistered or unwarranted. I was just following a unregistered and unwarranted car and rang up our local council traffic dept. and they were not interested unless it was parked on the road. I checked this car on Carjam. The reason I checked it was because it was quite noisy with a standard exchaust pipe and when they put the brake lights on they all went funny.

If it's not on a legal road, it doesn't have to be registered or warranted.

The point was that not even the Police or your local council traffic dept. are not interested in following it up when you have reported it to them.
@pcuser42 a public road.

Do you know you can drive an unsafe car that has a warrant on our roads and no-one will notice until it goes for the next warrant?
Do you know you can drive a perfectly working warranted car on our roads, pissed and no-one will notice until he may get pulled over or crash into someone else first?


Noisy - doesn't necessarily make it unsafe.
Brake lights funny - also doesn't necessarily make it unsafe.
