Pay your way

In this last year I have been very disappointed to see so many vehicles with expired road registration – some months expired and some by years. A recent one outside the information centre had a June 2020 sticker. A walk around town will show how many there are who do not pay their share for the roads they use.

I get a reminder when mine is due for renewal, so how come NZTA do not follow up with those who have not renewed when they know who they are? If we multiplied our numbers over the counter it would be many, many thousands I presume. There is also a $50 increase coming up for those of us who do pay when it would not be needed if everyone paid their fair share.
