and if the new licence doesn't involve some sort of driver training for the different characteristics of a lifted 4wd then it will completely defeat the point of a new licence.

Sorry but live in a state of NZ that has an overweight (is that OK Mods!) person with glasses telling you to get over everything Then the roads suck Then your 4x4 is illegal Then the schools close
Then you want to move back to a small town, but the Government closed all of the jobs in that small town so moving back would be pointless
We will all live in Auckland by 2025
I wish someone else was as interested as I was in the plughole our motoring public are all spinning down without us knowing it

like anything it is all hidden for public display on governments websites so no one can say they did nt make it public i guess . just like the law to search cars for ruaduser avaition tempering divises and them employing people to calculate your milage and supected traveled distance to come knocking at your door so they can check your vehicle for switches disconnected odometers , that law is passed since march this year and was up on one of there hidden pages. Soon there will be one where we all need to get microchip implants without letting uss know.

this free man on the land thing there is someting to it, as i did hear the guy who made up his own license plates and lables got not charged in court, So it seems its just because we accept there fraudulent rules and regulation that we have to then obey them , Not if you dont accept em and find out how to tell em you dont. its aperantly all aginst the original common law the leaches heve made up over the top.

They will sneak it in! Look at what they did to trucks you should up rate your truck then you can carry more weight. But wait now you've all uprated your trucks now we are going to charge rucs at maximum weight. Is this just a coincidence nah very cunning government

this is the latest one putting cars on hold its like everything written so no one can make sense of it . i called them as they sent me a letter i had disposed of my new car or sold it . they told me all ok was just a computer glitch as my change of registerd user for the wehicle turned up befor the sellers the computer sent me a note that i sold or deregistered it . while i was on the phone the women told me its 10.40$ to put a car on hold over the phone and 5bux something with AA or post shop and free to do online on the net still. Anyhow have a read online no mention of the free option there so we will have to wait and see and pray or something the women told me the right thing so we dont get milked even more. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2012/0227/latest/DLM4687654.html

How many surfs and hilux's have been rolled without a lift kit fitted. Some people are just crap drivers regardless of what they drive.

Theres a good explanation for a lot of those rollovers
Ppl calling them "cars" If you call a true 4x4 a "car", you tend to 'drive" it like a car
Another reason is the difference between a true 4x4 & an SUV & Awd 3 distinctly different class's of vehicles Unfortunately the average joe can't tell the difference between them & still treats each 'like a car"
Then theres the operators that simply 'don't know how to drive'

Theres a good expanation alright , crap drivers. Going to quick down hill in a twisty bit of road and the tail end gets light and steeps out , the driver is to slow to respond or over corrects and its all over. Hilux =s highroller

Yep agreed as I mentioned. We have had a few ppl in here complaining about only getting 15K to 20K out of a new set of 4x4 tires & in the same posting is the brand & model of 4x4 preceded with or ended with the words "my car"

Our Disco is a Car like SUV AWD 4x4 in a Class of its own and I drive it however the hell I want.

Wot about ones that end with the words - my piggy :)) They are going to create (more) outlaws.

I dont think its as easy as that. You can call what ever you drive any name you like.I dont have to look at a speedo to know im going to quick. Some people just cant feel whats going on by the seat of thier pants. Open paddocks and river beds are good places to learn how to get out of shape then get it back again.

May be a "piggy" but it's done more km's & been on the road a heck of a lot longer then a lot of much younger vehicles & will probably out live a lot of them as well. Been on a lot of rougher roads & towed a lot of weights as well.
Ok! Mines a "4x4 truck" & gets treated as exactly that. it's not a pig because I understand what it is & it does what it's designed to do AND what I want/need it to do.

Yep theres a lot more to it but calling it & treating a real 4x4 & the bigger suv's as a "car" isn't helping Remurea /Ponsonby tractors mostly used for grocery shopping & kindergarten duties
