How is the last sentence in that article even relevant?

Have you read the comments? Why is it that only morons that think others will care what they have to say.

F-ing typical of the nanny, revenue collecting, PC gone mad, hitler-youth police state this beautiful country is becoming. It's like the bike rack issue, now we have to display the rego and have tail/indicators etc in the same position as the car so that the police can identify us after robbing a bank on the way home from a bike ride...same rules as the IRD guilty until expensively proven innocent....the whole system sucks!!! Think I'll go for a drive and clear my head....slowly...

Would probably not look the best, but is it legal/possible to have a Euro plate on the front and a standard plate on the back? Have Jap/US spec boot.

Anyone have any idea on this? Mulling over some options... Plates.co.nz only supply the euro plates in pairs and won't do 1x black euro plate and 1x slimline black.

Other option is to shorten the nz euro plate for the rear somehow by removing the end with the fern on it.

Euro/NZ spec boot will be too expensive after painting and fitting etc. that's if I can find one.

Very tempted to just try my luck with germanplates as they do a short euro plate as well.

Just buy a some europlates and dont return the Govt Issue plates back to them.?

or just buy the cheap euro surrounds off trademe

I dont see an issue with mixing and matching plates especially if they were purchase from plates (legal supplier) i myself wouldnt mind running mini plate in the front and europlate in the rear.
As anton said u can get the number plate surround for the standard plate to make it europlate size. Havent had any issues come WOF or with the cops regarding it.

Some of you guys will already know they are illegal, but cops seem to be enforcing on non NZTA issued plates now when they previously seemed to let them go by the sounds of it. I got pulled over today on Great North Rd and let off with a warning if I pulled the plate off then and there, he said that their new cameras they are rolling out read number plates and warn them of ones that don?t comply as they are driving so a lot more of it will be happening. Maybe this isn?t new but I hadn?t seen anything about it...

I'd say it largely depends on the cop but this is something that's been going on for years.

If they have new cameras that pick up on fake plates, then they will have to replace all the old plates people are using as they only really introduced the watermarks (which I assume is what the camera is looking for) a few years ago.

I reckon that's BS, the older plates won't have watermarks on them so how does that work??

The current traffic cameras take an image of the vehicle including its number plate and the subsequent zooming in of the image will indentify the letters and numbers. The style of plate or reflective surface got nothing to do with it.
Theses camera systems are used all over the world, so work on any style plate.
The number plate recognition system ANPR that is fitted to a few police cars looks for wanted plate combination and also got nothing to do with the style of plate used.
