I've just bought a green stickered car, I've got the sticker off but it's left a residue on the screen - what's best to get this off!

Yeah mate, they put it right in front of the driver on the screen, not very safe to drive it like that and would draw unwanted attention!

did you read what it said on the sticker . you are not allowed to remove the sticker or else! also you can only get a wof at vtnz etc and its 100$ for that wof last time i had one done. conditions of driving are on a paper that came with the sticker and as to why it was green stickered. Green is minor faults like smashed light or something.

nah didn't read it cos it was half worn off anyway from sitting outside. Should be ok cos it was green stickered from the last owner and I've just bought it. still has a wof so all good!

to get resedue off you can use methelated spirit should work ok, but its probably costing you even more that you removed the sticker i just remember the warning not to remove it when i had to fix a clients car once.

Change of ownership does not annul a green sticker. First cop or parking warden that runs your licence plate will see the flag, pull you over and write the car off the road.

If you get pulled over.you loose the car, regardless of when you brought it or who owned it last! it doesnt matter whos owned it when it was stickered. if you drive a car you take responsibilty for the vehicle. the sticker is the paper work. removing it will incur further fines. to be green stickered it must be to loud or to low. only way to remove a green sticker is to go to vtnz and get a check done.

Ok --If this IS a wind up then good onya. If its NOT a wind up I have some VERY bad news for you. The WOF sticker on the car is utterly worthless once a green sticker has been put on the car. If pulled over or if a parking warden has a decent link then a ticket will be issued for now wof. If its the cops there will be a NEW green sticker issued. The ONLYway the car can be driven legally is to go to a VTNZ testing station and have a Green sticker wof done which costs a lot more than a normal WOF
