drftnmaz Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 i love your determination, but as per government spec they just don't care btw: everyone's driveway/workshop is classed as an access road or part of the road, until you put up a gate or rope saying "private property, no public access". as long as its open to the road and has a driveway then its part of the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKer Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 determination can be easily confused for stupidity how do you rego an ATV at the beach I am now left wondering???? < Class A was the "legal'ist" rego I could find and it did fit into the category from my interpretation plus I don't own a farm and in no way was trying to defraud the system (I would definitely go for a skate I reckon if I tried that) least I could plead ignorance/seem to have been given benefit of the doubt and am glad no further action appears to have been sought the rope idea is good (wont happen either) but has not been mentioned yet cant say I didn't try!

CaMpylobacter Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 coz they're atvs still, thus regoing for the beach is legit. beach is seen as a public road. you're over thinking this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivaspeed Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The old chestnut that is Class A reg... A car is, and will not be an ATV. However, there used to be a way to put a passenger car on exempt class A without re-registering it as a different category of vehicle. Had my Viva on it for a while until I put it on hold. It is registered as a car, but was under exempt A licensing not the standard one (G, I think). Got a letter from LTNZ earlier in the year saying they were changing rules and only an ATV or certain earthmoving equipment/off road equipment could be licensed under A and that at the next time I bought a license it would need to be back on G. They made it quite clear that it was not suitable for passenger cars. Heaps of guys used to put class A reg on their race cars and A frame them around / dodgy drive. There was a clause in the conditions of the licensing rules that said the vehicle could be used on the road under class A "for purpose of inspection or repair" - I kept that page in my glovebox! You just had to know a mate with a workshop in each corner of the city to say that's where you were going for "repair". A little older and wiser I realised that the fines and consequences could be $400-$600 plus insurance hassles so I bought a better insurance policy - a car transport trailer - sorted. The amount I now spend keeping everything WOF'd/REG'd for only a few days driving per year makes me cringe. There should be a special "low use" license category.
