| 420336 | 2006-01-12 06:03:00 | I dunno mate... your laws, rules and regulations still make my hair stand on end. My missus visited her dad recently in Nevada, via LA airport... they even made her remove her shoes during the search! Good grief! She stood in several queues for nearly 3 hours just trying to out-board the plane, and nearly as long trying to board on her return. ***! I've visited probably 20 countries, including a few of the infamous communist era, and even they didn't give us such scrutiny. |

| 420337 | 2006-01-12 06:06:00 | Yet another damn good reason not to live in the Fantasmical United States of The Worst Toilet Hole in History. Go New Zealand! Quite an ignorant rude comment Greg They don't have a regular WOF check as we do here and those requirements are quite reasonable as they are basically the same as the WOF requirements here. Instead of compliance at WOF time as in NZ they are a compliance at all times the vehicle is on the road and the penalties are to ensure owners keep their cars roadworthy. We enforce that here by the regular WOF checks. Would like to see compulsory insurance here as well and heavy penalties if not current. |

| 420339 | 2006-01-12 06:11:00 | Hi Folks. Your could perhaps argue that the Land Transport Authority site mislead you at here (www.ltsa.govt.nz) where is says that without a warrant your are not allowed to drive....... What if my vehicle fails its WoF inspection? If your vehicle fails its WoF inspection and your old WoF has expired, you are not allowed to drive it on the road (unless it is being operated solely for the purpose of bringing it into compliance and obtaining a new WoF — and provided the vehicle is safe to be operated for that purpose). When all the areas that required attention have been fixed, the reinspection is free of charge if you return the vehicle to the same WoF agent within 28 days of the first inspection. |

| 420341 | 2006-01-12 06:20:00 | And you are not aware of the reason for the increased security?Ah man! Wouldn't you take a visit to an African safari park? Wouldn't you take an ocean cruise on a luxury liner? Wouldn't you... la de dah. There's risks in everything - but the Americans seem to be a bit over the top. | Greg (193) | ||
| 420342 | 2006-01-12 06:26:00 | This is the largest welfare state in the union, and it is technically broke..so fines and fees and laws are getting larger and larger.PS... off topic again... how's your Governor doing? Is he improving things at all? I quite like him, for what it's worth. | Greg (193) | ||
| 420343 | 2006-01-12 08:31:00 | Instead of compliance at WOF time as in NZ they are a compliance at all times the vehicle is on the road and the penalties are to ensure owners keep their cars roadworthy . We enforce that here by the regular WOF checks . . We also have to be compliant all the time, not just when we have the check, but also the period during that time and to keep it to that standard . officer; "here's a ticket for bald tyres" lady: "but how can that be, I have a warrant on the car" |

| 420344 | 2006-01-12 08:46:00 | It has current reg and with a personalised plate it is well known to all long-term residents of our somewhat secluded no-exit street. Last night we discovered that some kind person had reported it to the local Council, who had sent out an official who issued it with a "Stationary Vehicle" infringement notice for not having a current WOF.If you're anything like you are online in the offline world, I'd imagine most of your nearbys would be dying to report it in. :2cents: | ninja (1671) | ||

Perhaps the 2 of you have just been around the forum together for too long - I don't remember finding him annoying. |
