If you drive a vehicle in New Zealand that does not meet road safety standards, you will be fined. This includes, but is not limited to, key components such as lights, tires, and braking systems, which must be maintained in good condition. For example, vehicles that do not pass the Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection will be fined at least $200 each time they are on the road; furthermore, if such a vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the insurance company will refuse to pay compensation.
