CarJam passes this information on as a public service for free. For example, you can currently find out if a car has been reported stolen or if the odometer has been tampered with at no charge and lots more!
The NZTA claims that these proposed new charges are necessary for cost recovery. However, this information has already been paid for by the public in the form of licensing fees, registration fees, WOF and COF costs. It belongs to the motorists of New Zealand. We do not have to pay for it twice.
Crime and fraud statistics are high and this proposal will undoubtedly motor check result in an increase in ordinary people getting ripped off. Email the Minister (from the front page ), sign a petition , place your comments below and continue to FB about it .
It seems govt. depts are constantly trying to justify their existance by coming up with changes that seem unnecessary, e.g. RUC, Why not just tax diesol at source? Now extra charges lumped onto the public for exactly what? Registration motor check and tax already motor check should more than cover costs, if not, why not, Govt, depts can not keep on loading charges and expect the public to keep on paying, there are more than enough unregistered and uninsured vehicles motor check on the road now, the public just cannot sustain constant increases motor check just to keep some public servant employed in a nothing motor check job.
NZTA ARE A PACK OF HUMMERS, THIS HELPS U FIND OUT IF SOMEONE HAS DONE DODGY STUFF TO A CAR SO U CAN FIGURE OUT IF U WANT IT OR NOT, SO WHAT THEY WANT US TO BUY CARS THAT ARE PIECES OF #$%@ ??? LEAVE IT ON!!!! AND FREE STOP TRYING TO MAKE MONEY!!! U GOT HEAPS ALREADY ALL THEY WANT IS TO PUT THERE WAGES UP FOR THEM SELVES motor check
As a transport motor check operator with vehicles spread throughout motor check the country from Christchurch to Kaitaia, I use carjam on a daily basis to check on the legality of my own vehicles. I should not have to pay to access my own data. If I wish to add to our fleet the information is used to check on the legality of new vehicles.
Land Transport is a public organisation, & all people I have spoken motor check to from Land Transport motor check keep saying…”We are here to help!”… to the point where it sounds like a rote saying motor check for cult indoctrination. In actual fact, in my experience, motor check Land Transport seems to employ people motor check with the sole purpose of getting more money out of the public to justify their own jobs.
The country is currently in a recession. The Government sector may be saying differently, but it is about time someone listened to the general public (the voters) who are saying…”NO MORE ADDITIONAL CHARGES!” The public just cannot afford to subsidize any more bureaucracy.
CarJam talks about helping people against dodgy sellers, but really what they are doing iis making money selling (because they do charge for the detailed motor check information) private information to any criminal or sicko stalker that comes along. This is wrong and they should motor check be shut down, they are helping criminals and stalkers get information the would not get if they had to go to a post office and show ID and show they have a legitimate reason to get the info.
April changes in regards to ownership privacy are good ones. CarJam already hides full address so you cannot really motor check “find” the guy if one wants to stay anonymous. NZ Post does a really bad job of taking IDs and they give out full address. Please get your facts right before motor check accusing.
We should all bring a class action lawsuit against the NZTA if they do something that increases crime rates. Then again, nobody seems to be talking about the fact it’s motor check only about the personal details that gets the charge raised and this this is not really about revenue gathering but about improving everyones privacy – I actually support this move since it throttles the privacy abuse, motor check and improves privacy.
Tom, 1. You cannot sue government/crown — we have checked this 2. Ownership changes motor check coming in April are good ones. 3. The petition and argument at the moment is about free information which does not have any privacy issues.
Hi Frank. Trust us we have tried all we could. Media like CL, Couse UP etc are not interested. FairGo was interested but they closed for holidays and when reopen it’s too late. The minister was asked questions in the parliament through Labour MP and some contradictory answers were given by the ill-informed minister of transport. Such a shame this government scam is happening in New Zealand.
Thanks to Carjam it is now obvious that most vehicles going through a WOF check have had their odometers recorded wrong at least once in their lives. For instance my own vehicle had it’s odometer recorded at 940,000km on the NZTA system when it had only done 94,000km at its last WOF check. It’s about time some of these WOF issuers smartened up their act a bit and started recording motor check odometers more accurately. Why aren’t motor check the NZTA following up on all the inac
