in certain context, lime scooters on a footpath are far more dangerous than say a moderately looked after p10. seen some with absolutely bald tyres

that second link from NZTA talks about tyre load and speed ratings suitable for the vehicle but do tyres on the same axle have to have matching ratings? it doesn't seem to mention it, so just to be sure. i mean, i'm guessing most tyres for typical passenger cars would have the ratings well above the required load and speed.

semi-related, how much of the guard has to cover over the tyre/wheel for it to be legal. most guards are widest at the top and tapers in down at sill level?

how often does this happen. if i was a layman who don't know nothing about cars (pretty much true), what am i meant to do?

who writes VIRM? having an interesting (but very trivial, to be honest) discussion with NZTA at the moment but they should ve been sent back to school first...

For installation of monsoon shields (and a whole bunch of others, quite often) VIRM says "In-service requirements for condition and performance must be met." What does it actually mean? The specific question I have though is, if there are any transparency requirements, can it be opaque (I think I've seen ones made out of metal, for older cars) for monsoon shields, If the area of the side glass where monsoon shield overlap needs to meet 35% VLT combined etc.

for NA vehicle, like a van or a wagon, is a cargo barrier requirement?

at least they are not 5¼" or 8"

"10. A lens is missing, or has a hole, crack or other damage that allows moisture or dirt to enter." asking for a friend. do i read it as crack is a fail or a crack that allows moisture or dirt to enter as a fail? in any case, if the crack is repaired, is it a pass or does the lens require replacement as a whole?

sorry. just wof.

the scissor jacking points on the sills are bent over and have some (what looks like surface) rust on them. the sills themselves look (and feel) fairly solid - i.e. jacked it up there and didn't crumble or crush any further than the existing damage. would it be ok just to wire brush and rust treat or do i need to reshape/unbend or whatever else to the original profile for WOF?

looked at virm, it reads like mirror tint on any glass is banned, including sunroof? don't some pulsars have them on back glass?

is harris pipe any good?

re: door cards, are there any other relevant sections in virm, other than interior impact?
