Illegal Number Plates

Letterbox has been presented with a photo file of illegal motor vehicle registration plates, issued by a Far North hapu claiming sovereignty over their patch.

We are told the Police have been made aware of the issue but have turned a blind eye. The concern is not only with unregistered and unwarranted vehicles being unsafe and a danger to other motorists but there are implications with third-party insurance and in some cases avoidance of road user charges.
