| 1443785 | 2017-12-18 08:04:00 | Are motor vehicles in NZ permitted to be driven on the open road if the wheels protrude outside the metal body line of the vehicle? I have noticed many Uts and other so-called recreational vehicles in the Wellington region, adopting this practice :( |

| 1443786 | 2017-12-18 08:19:00 | Saw an Audi Saloon with wheels outside, but with extended mud-flaps also. So it must be legal !!! | Lurking (218) | ||
| 1443787 | 2017-12-18 08:52:00 | Probably not, but then there are many things that are strictly illegal, like tow bars (edit: and bicycles) obstructing the rear number plate, no one seems to bother. "Modifications not requiring LVV Certification Use the following list as a guide to identify modifications that individually are considered to not adversely affect the safety performance of a vehicle, provided they meet the WOF safety criteria: Branded wheels and tyres of a different size, provided: they do not project beyond the line of the original mudguard, and they lie within 25mm of the manufacturer's track width, and the tyre/wheel rolling radius is unchanged..............................." www.aa.co.nz |

| 1443788 | 2017-12-18 18:56:00 | Almost certainly not. Saw exactly this situation on NZ TV's road cops programme just recently where a driver was pulled over and given an ultimatum to correct this contravention. | Greg (193) | ||

| 1443790 | 2017-12-18 20:15:00 | Just as you also cant cut springs to lower the car (without having it certified) and cant modify the drivers seat so the driver sits stupidly low Also cant paint tail-lights black. Cant have excessively loud mufflers (or lack of) Still see all that . They can get pulled over for it, but traffic cops seem more interested in speed traps . |

Speeding tickets are a straight line process, and handled briskly. The other system has a bit of a slow-down while the OS updates to deal with the many awards it won at Crufts. ;) |
